You can install and use xsel instead of pbcopy on Linux. Or set up tmux to
use OSC 52 if your terminal supports it, see
https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Clipboard.
I don't know what it means to behave like a normal terminal, which
terminal? You can make mouse selection stay around until you copy and bind
C-c or M-c in tmux to copy by changing the key bindings.
Alternatively, most terminals let you hold down Shift to override tmux
mouse and handle the mouse themselves, but that will only work for visible
text, not the scrollback.
