I want to set up iTerm2 to pass scroll events to tmux, so I can trivially enter (and exit) scrollback mode for whatever pane is active. Is this possible to do with iTerm2, or automation of some sort, or …?
Make tmux scroll from the trackpad

Do you have the command keys mapped to option in the Keys tab and the option keys set to act as meta in the Profiles tab? If you do, set the option keys to act as "+Esc" in the preferences:
When the option keys are set to act as meta, they are not recognized in tmux.
Edit: \e[1;5D and \e[1;5C are not recognized by tmux either. You could just map ⌘B to \eb and ⌘F to \ef:
I needed to reload (perhaps 'apply' is more appropriate) my configuration file.
I had restarted my mac and thought this would have done it but I still needed to do:
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
Note: type this exactly as shown. source-file is literally what you type (or copy-paste) it is NOT something you replace with your own value).

The mode is referred to as "copy mode" and as long as you're running
tmux1.5 or higher you can add:to your
~/.tmux.conffile and tmux will automatically enter and exit copy mode when you use the scroll wheel on your mouse.As a bonus, this option allows you to select the tmux pane with your mouse:
