Selecting text with mouse doesn't work

[davidbrochart]

In bash I cannot select some text with the mouse. There is no highlighting and I cannot copy/paste. But it works in vim for instance.

Same thing happens to me with zsh over putty. Can't select any text using the mouse.

Hi @davidbrochart and @tmr232,

This is caused by pymux taking control of the mouse by default.
Typ the command (Ctrl-B :): set-option mouse off in order to turn mouse support off.

Otherwise, you could also hold down shift or control while selecting text. (Depending on the terminal.)

Actually, it's exactly the same as tmux, but mouse support has been enabled by default.

Thanks, I should have read the docs ;-)

Are there any ways to make is so that you can copy text from one pane to another without selecting text from another?

|----------------|----------|
|                |      1   |
|       0        |__________|
|                |        2 |
|________________|__________|

For example, if wanted to select output from a multi line output from 1 and paste it in 2 it would also select text from 0. Any ideas? This would help me out a ton for a project im working on.

If you switch into copy-mode in the pane where you want to copy (use Ctrl+B [) then you can use the mouse or arrow keys to highlight the text you want and use Enter to copy/yank it to the clipboard.
