I am running tmux inside urxvt. I would like to select and copy text using the left mouse button and paste it using the middle mouse button -- I am very old school.

I did get tmux-yank almost working but need to hit SHIFT+Mouse 1 Select doing the selection, then hit y… This is a lot of key presses.

Anyone knows how I can get this simple behaviour working better?

Here are some versions:

; tmux -V       

tmux 2.2

; urxvt256c-ml --version 

urxvt: "version": unknown or malformed option.

  Old school is actually: select with left button and paste with middle button (and it works out-of-the-box). Did I understand correctly? You want to copy with middle button, not paste?

In case some other poor soul struggles with this, here is my ~/.tmux.conf file. I use the tmux plugin manager so install that first.

# ./tmux.conf



# Powerline…

run-shell "powerline-daemon -q"

source '~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/powerline/bindings/tmux/powerline.conf'



# VI-mode…

setw -g mode-keys vi



# C-b is not acceptable -- Vim uses it

set-option -g prefix C-a

bind-key C-a last-window



# Set windows modes styles

set -g mode-style "fg=black,bg=colour69"



# Renumber windows

set -g renumber-windows on



# Automaitcally rename.

setw -g automatic-rename



# Allows for faster key repetition

set -s escape-time 0



# Scroll History

set -g history-limit 30000



# Mouse

set -g mouse on # ← This stops the default correct behaviour…



# List of plugins

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm' # ← The tmux plugin manager.

set -g @plugin 'nhdaly/tmux-scroll-copy-mode' # ← sane scrolling.

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-yank' # ← Yanking.

set -g @shell_mode 'vi'  # tmux-yank option.

set -g @yank_selection 'primary'  # tmux-yank option.



# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)

run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

# EOF

So, you can use the mouse to select whatever text you wish. If you hit y before releasing the left mouse button, the selection is copy into the primary buffer which you can paste via the middle mouse click.
