Scroll while highlighting

[offero]

I would like to scroll the mouse wheel while holding down the left mouse button to highlight text and copy. Is this possible?

Hmm, i'm not sure. It's certainly not implemented in this plugin yet. You might have better luck asking on tmux-users (or [email protected]), where you'll find a much larger audience than just me! :)

It could be a technical limitation of tmux or not! I don't know though.

Try searching the tmux-users forum first; there might already be an answer to your question.

Could this be implemented by holding down a modifier key?

Maybe! I honestly don't know much about this. Do you have an idea?

I started using tmux today, so I have no idea 😛
If there's an API to scroll, I was thinking there might be a way to 'stay in' copy mode during scrolling.
