tmux

I learned everything I know at tmuxcheatsheet.com but here's some stuff I always forget:

Copy and paste large blocks of text

  1. Press CTRL + b and then [ to enter copy mode.
  2. Use the arrow keys to go to the position from where you want to start copying.
  3. Press CTRL + SPACE to start copying.
  4. Use arrow keys to go to the end of text you want to copy.
  5. Press ALT + w or CTRL + w to copy into Tmux buffer.
  6. Press CTRL + b and then ] to paste in a possibly different Tmux pane/window.
