TL;DR: does anyone have a .tmux.conf file that makes tmux behave the way it used to (1.9 days?) on Mac Terminal.app?
A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded my Mac to the latest-released OS version. Around that time (not sure whether it was before or after, but close enough to seem to be causally related), I upgraded my Homebrewed tmux install to whatever is latest version. The release notes tell me the latest is 2.3, but running `tmux -V` reports 'tmux 2.4'. That seems weird, maybe I need to take up the issue with the Homebrew maintainers. Anyway, after these upgrades, running tmux in the Mac Terminal.app no longer works in the way I was used to and loved. Let me give a few examples. It used to be the case (possibly under tmux 1.9 that I ran previously?) that using the scroll gesture on my Mac trackpad would cause tmux running in Terminal.app to scroll tmux's buffer - not the Terminal window's buffer. In other words, I would see what had flowed off the top of the screen from the tmux buffer by scrolling up; and while using `less` in the shell inside tmux, scrolling down would cause `less` to progress through the output it is paging. Additionally, mouse-click-drag in the Terminal.app would use the Terminal.app's selection, and then I could Command-C copy onto the Mac pasteboard, for Command-V pasting into other Mac apps. Since upgrading, none of that seems to work. I've tried adding in my ~/.tmux.conf: `set -g mouse on`. That seems to do something, but not what it used to do. Now, when I mouse-click-drag in the Terminal.app, it appears that tmux is going into its own buffer selection mode, allowing me to copy in tmux but then not to paste into any other Mac app. Also now, when I use the trackpad scroll gesture, I get some tmux scrolling - the scroll-up shows what has passed in the tmux buffer, but scroll-down while running `less` fails to be useful. If anyone can understand the behavior I've tried to describe, and can tell me how to get it using current software (prefer not to downgrade either Mac OS or tmux), please teach me.
