Question: How do I increase the copy-buffer size in tmux?
Data: When I run the following command...
$ for i in {1..1000}; do echo "$i"; done
... and highlight the entire output in tmux (using either the mouse or keyboard commands), here is what gets sent to the system pasteboard:
1
2
3
4
--snip--
205
206
207
208
20 (<--- Notice where it cuts off)
Triage:
- This persists when I quit tmux and kill the server, move tmux.conf and launch a fresh tmux instance with the default conf file. (Having to re-learn the default keys was difficult X_X).
- Also persists on a different machine (again, with default tmux settings) with the exact software (listed below).
- Also persists in default Terminal.app (again, with default tmux settings)
tmux.conf: Here are what I think are the only relevant bits in tmux.conf
set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"
set -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh"
set -g history-limit 30000
setw -g alternate-screen on
set -g mode-mouse on
set-window-option -g mode-mouse on
setw -g mouse-select-window on
setw -g mouse-select-pane on
setw -g mouse-resize-pane on
set-option -g mouse-select-pane on
set-option -g mouse-select-window on
setw -g mode-keys vi
System:
