Tmux: [Enhancement] Hold position in scrollback

Created on 1 Oct 2015 · 4Comments · Source: tmux/tmux

It's common to scroll up in tmux to copy text. It would be a major benefit not to lose your position in the scrollback when copying text or visually selecting text with the mouse.

It's already there.
man tmux | less +/ copy-selection

Thanks for the quick reply @ntnn.

Do you know if tmux gained the ability to somehow invoke copy-pipe and stay in copy mode?

Nope:

    case MODEKEYCOPY_COPYPIPE:
        if (sess != NULL) {
            window_copy_copy_pipe(wp, sess, NULL, arg);
            window_pane_reset_mode(wp);
            return;
        }
