I knew I saw a way to interact with it through the mouse. Thank you for reminding me. `tmux` is really a neatly little program, everything is there, simple and efficient.

ps:

    man tmux | grep "mouse-" # shows the mouse related options
    C-b : "set mouse-<option> on"

pps: turning on mouse windows/panels interactions disable text selection, do you know a way to have both ? (beside switching beside custom defined modes on your .conf)

You can always do text selection in a terminal by holding shift while selecting the text, no matter if the program running in the terminal supports mouse or not. I think on some terminals it's alt instead of shift.

I don't seem to have that problem, :/

make sure "mouse-mode on" is set, rather than "mouse-mode copy-mode".

Here is my mouse config:

set-window-option -g mode-mouse on

set-option -g mouse-resize-pane on

set-option -g mouse-select-pane on

set-option -g mouse-select-window on

set-option -g mouse-utf8 on
