Hello Nicolas, Thank you again for your input! After going back and forth, I ended up commenting out the line with "mouse on" and added the following lines in my tmux.conf: == set-window-option -g mode-keys vi bind Up copy-mode bind -n M-Up copy-mode ==
Within the copy-mode, the mouse-wheel could still be used to move the cursor. That's less than ideal, but I think this is so far the best solution I found for my need within tmux. I'll be using the tmux with above config and will decide if I'd like to keep using tmux or move back to the GNU screen world.. @Nicolas :Thank you again for your help!! Best regards, Akira K.
