I like that when mode-mouse
is on in tmux, I can scroll through the buffer, but I don't like that I can't copy stuff to my OS clipboard by selecting it (as when tmux is disabled). Question: Is there any way to enable mouse scrolling, but not selection? I'm using KDE's konsole
, if it matters. I've tried setting,
set -g mouse-select-pane off
set -g mouse-select-window off
but no luck — the only difference seems to be whether mode-mouse
is on (tmux captures scrolling and selection) or off (tmux captures neither scrolling nor selection).

due to a limitation in the protocol, it is not possible for terminal applications to only request the scrolling but not the selection. It's an all or nothing. So even if tmux wanted, it has no way of doing what you desire.
