Do you know how I can copy text in tmux mode in CentOS 7?
When I select the text, it shows as yellow but cannot copy it.
This is what I have in tmux.conf:
If I press shift while selecting, it will show as white but then I cannot right-click to copy neither CTL+C or CTL+SHIFT+C would work for copy.
I use Ubuntu, and I have xclip (so for you, yum install xclip) installed on
my system and have the following in my .tmux.conf which allows me to begin
copying (having pressed Ctrl + b then [) by pressing v and to paste the
copied stuff to the system clipboard with y:
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi v send-keys -X begin-selection
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel 'xclip -sel clip -i'
Note that this is for vi mode, but I assume if you change it to:
bind-key -T copy-mode-emacs v send-keys -X begin-selection
bind-key -T copy-mode-emacs y send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel 'xclip -sel clip -i'
it will work the same way.
