Getting copying and pasting to behave sanely when working with the terminalhas been a constant struggle, probably ever since I started working withPuTTY, slackware and what must have been Windows 98.
These days my environment consists of OS X 10.10, tmux, iTerm2 andwell, Vim has never gone away. Neither have my issues with copy-pastingthough. It seems that every time I have a solution, a few months later a cogin the machine changes and breaks the whole set-up again, which then takes memonths to fix due to my lazyness.
I finally took the time again to look into this, and figured I should share.So this is the December 2014 solution! Keep in mind that in January 2015 thismay no longer work though…
iTerm2
First: iTerm2. iTerm2 has a setting that allows terminal applications toaccess the clipboard.
This works through ANSI escape sequences, and you actually want this OFF.Before today I had this setting on, which kinda worked but it always truncatedthe clipboard, which made it completely frustrating for copy-pasting largerthings such as logfiles.
So to repeat this, the “Allow clipboard access to terminal apps” must be OFF The magic of psychotronic power free pdf.
tmux
![Mac Mac](https://splhack.github.io/macvim-kaoriya/macvim-kaoriya.jpg)
OS X has two command-line utilities to interact with the clipboard,
pbcopy
and pbpaste
. These utilities break when running inside of tmux.To fix this, we need a small utility that can be installed using brew:
If you would like to know exactly how this works and why it’s needed, or ifyou want to install this without using brew, the github project pagehas all the answers.
Bonus fact: this also fixes
launchctl
in tmux.After this, we need to make a few modifications to your
~/.tmux.conf
. Addthe following lines:The previous lines sets up tmux correctly, and binds various copy and pastekeys to use pbpaste and pbcopy.
The one thing I have not figured out here, is that I haven’t been ableto get tmux mouse support with this. So if you want to copy and paste tothe system clipboard, you need to do this with the keyboard short-cuts.
Know how to extend this feature to get mouse support? Do let me know!
Don’t forget to restart tmux or run:

Vim
Update Vim Mac
Lastly, vim! It would be awesome if we can just ‘yank’ and paste using

from Vim as well.Vim Mac Tutorial
This is rather easy. Open up your
.vimrc
, or .vim/vimrc
file and simplyadd this line:![Vim Vim](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tonyho/VIM/master/docs/MacVimScreenCast.jpg?raw=true)
However, this did not work with the Vim version that OS X shipped with (whichis 7.3). To upgrade to 7.4, just use Homebrew again:
