You can always (prefix) bind some key that does send-keys C-y, but that might make it more cumbersome to type if you need it often enough.ġ Only movement and editing commands are available. when you want to type C-y to a tty-mode instance of Emacs running inside tmux). They will make it difficult to type those bound keys to a program running inside tmux (e.g. bind-key -temacs-copy M-w copy-pipe "xclip -i -selection clipboard"īe careful making too many “no prefix” bindings. When mode-keys is emacs, copy mode will use the emacs-copy table, so you need to bind M-w to copy-pipe in the that table. The copy-pipe command is only available in the alternate “mode” bindings tables. It is equivalent to -t emacs-copy, if you like that better.Ĭopy mode uses a different set of bindings and commands 1 than the “normal mode”. The leading dash means that this is an option to the bind-keys command (along with an argument for the option). There are also some new commmands available with send -X, such as The default C-r binding is now: bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward-incremental '%%'"

These changes allows the full command parser (including command sequences) andĬommand set to be used - for example, the normal command prompt with editingĪnd history is now used for searching, jumping, and so on instead of a custom So the following: bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-upīind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-upīecomes: bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-upīind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up Commands are sent using the -X and -N flags to

The emacs-copy and vi-copy tables have been replaced by the copy-mode andĬopy-mode-vi tables. The emacs-edit, vi-edit, emacs-choose and vi-choose tables have been replacedīy fixed key bindings in the command prompt and choose modes. Together with the -t flag to bind-key and unbind-key.

With all this, how can I copy a selection from copy mode to the clipboard? How are you?" | xclip -i -selection clipboard The odd thing is that I know that the " xclip -i -selection clipboard" part of the copy command above works well, since I can copy things to the clipboard in the command line, e.g.: echo "Hello world. However, pasting works great: bind-key -n C-y run "xclip -o | tmux load-buffer - tmux paste-buffer" I have tried the following for copying without luck: bind-key -n M-w run "tmux save-buffer - | xclip -i -selection clipboard"

There also seem to be some typos in this description and in the command (what is temacs-copy?)Įither way, what I would like to do is: Copying: It looks like copy-pipe is meant to be used in part to pipe the selection to another command. For example the following willīind ‘C-q’ to copy the selection into /tmp as well as the pasteīuffer: bind-key -temacs-copy C-q copy-pipe "cat >/tmp/out" One command in accepts an argument, copy-pipe, which copies the The man page says the following about this command:

I found this thread for copying the entire buffer to the clipboard (and viceversa), but it does not seem to be working for me.Īlso, in the tmux-users mail list I was told that recent versions of tmux (only in the git repo) provide a command called copy-pipe. So far I have been able to paste text with C-y, and move around in copy-mode with Emacs-like keyboard bindings, but I am still unable to copy text from a tmux buffer (e.g. I am running the latest version of tmux (from the git repository) and xclip (0.12), and I would like to be able to use Emacs-like keyboard bindings to move around the text in copy-mode, copy ( M-w) selections to the clipboard, and paste ( C-y) from/to the copy buffer to the clipboard.
