You only need to clone Tmux Plugin Manager (tpm) itself. After that, Tmux Plugin Manager will clone the plugins (tmux-sensible, tmux-yank, etc) for you when you run `~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/install_plugins`. > $ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm > > > > > It uses the tmux-yank plugin to achieve the cross-platform behaviour. > > > > Also see my tmux config: > > > > https://github.com/seanh/tmux > > Which approach do you recommend? Your approach or the approach on > seanh.cc? What is their difference? They're the same. Or nearly identical anyway. github.com/seanh/tmux is my actual current tmux config.

A single config file could bind two different shortcuts, one for mac and one for linux. For example (you'd have to fill out the pbcopy command for mac, I don't have a mac so I can't test it): # Make Ctrl+c copy into the clipboard. This will only work on Linux. bind -T copy-mode C-c send -X copy-pipe-no-clear "xsel -i --clipboard" bind -T copy-mode-vi C-c send -X copy-pipe-no-clear "xsel -i --clipboard" # Make Alt+c copy into the clipboard. This will only work on mac. bind -T copy-mode M-c send -X copy-pipe-no-clear "pbcopy ..." bind -T copy-mode-vi M-c send -X copy-pipe-no-clear "pbcopy ..." I don't have an example for how to make a single keyboard shortcut copy into the clipboard on both mac and linux. But I think it'd be easy enough to write a shell script that tries to call xsel and if that fails tries pbcopy. Then have a key binding in your tmux.conf call that script. The tmux-yank plugin already does this: it uses "y" as the keyboard shortcut to copy into the clipboard and works on both mac and linux: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-yank Note that you cannot bind the macOS command key in tmux. That's not possible. Tmux only supports Ctrl, Alt and Shift modifiers. I don't think this is tmux's fault--I think it's just a limitation of terminal apps. I have a tutorial on binding keys in tmux you might find helpful: https://www.seanh.cc/2020/12/28/binding-keys-in-tmux/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tmux-users" group.
