Nov 11, 2023 at 21:54 comment added Caleb Stanford For anyone similarly confused: it worked for me only with tmux in front: tmux set -g mode-mouse on. Only showed up to the last 1989 lines though.
May 25, 2023 at 21:51 comment added aviator After this run tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf to make it take effect.
Feb 5, 2023 at 6:56 comment added The Anh Nguyen Not so sure but it works after trying this for me setw -g mouse on
Jul 11, 2021 at 21:44 comment added ccpizza @humble: on Mac use Option + drag (as mentioned in the comment)
Jul 9, 2021 at 15:23 comment added humble @ccpizza Shift+ mouse drag is not working for me on iterm
Mar 26, 2021 at 16:22 comment added Charlie Parker tmux -V to see your tmux version. It would be nice to know how to do this within tmux too and if it was in the answer.

Apr 24, 2019 at 20:27 comment added ccpizza @pltrdy @friederbluemle @Shadoninja: with mode-mouse on use can still select text with Shift + mouse drag or Option + mouse drag on Mac.
Aug 28, 2018 at 22:16 comment added Blaine Lafreniere This worked for me, but only after killing the tmux server with tmux kill-server.

Add the right command for recent versions of tmux (based on the comment by thrnio, can confirm it works)

Nov 10, 2016 at 18:49 comment added Gareth Davidson @Mr.F try set mouse-utf8 off
May 4, 2016 at 22:50 comment added Shadoninja Important note: This setting breaks highlighting and copying text. Use shift+click to maintain this functionality.
Mar 17, 2015 at 3:40 comment added friederbluemle Mouse scrolling works fine with this, but unfortunately I cannot use the mouse to select text anymore. Using Tilda and tmux.
Jan 7, 2014 at 5:11 comment added Jezen Thomas Future tmux mouse users: To save you having to scroll to the bottom again before typing, you can hit q to exit scroll mode.
Nov 4, 2013 at 9:45 comment added Jonathan Hartley This works great for me. Now if only we can figure key bindings to do the same (maybe a screen at a time), I'll be a very happy camper.
Aug 1, 2013 at 15:38 comment added user110014 When I do this, mouse clicks and scrolls cause gibberish characters to be printed to the prompt area of the terminal I'm using with tmux. Any ideas?
