I used to believe that tmux is very hard to use due to lack of mouse support, until I found the clue. Sharing it here in case you’re looking for it.

Simple setup:

  • Install tmux
  • Install iTerm2, go to Preference -> General and enable Applications in terminal may access clip option.
  • In your ~/.tmux.conf add set -g mouse on

And you’re all done! Both scroll and copy should work as intended.
