Copying from my other post:

The other aspect to it is having a key that can shift between the
various options.  My idea there is to store the
pass-through-before-pasting command in a (window?) option, and make
a tmux command that takes an option name and a list of possible
values.  Every time it's called, it checks for the current value in
the list, and moves to the next one.  This would be a fully general
solution that people could use for other things.

(end copy)

Rather than rotating through option settings, though, it could just
as easily rotate through key bindings.

So this would be something that would build on top of your shell
solution.

The nice thing about that solution is that you could do it your way
and I could do it mine.  I kind of like the rotating behaviour,
simply because I need at least 3 or 4 different behaviours at
various times, and I don't know that I want to have to remember that
many keys.

OTOH, the shell solution works as is; I'll have to try it out and
see if it seems worth it to do the rotating thing.
