I redirected stderr as Chris suggested (great pointer by the way) with:
bind-key -n C-y run "exec 2>&1 ; xclip -o | tmux load-buffer - ; tmux
paste-buffer"
and when I try to paste with C-y I get the following:
sh: tmux: command not found
sh: tmux: command not found
'exec 2>&1 ; xclip -o | tmux load-buffer - ; tmux paste-buffer'
This is odd, since tmux is definitely in $PATH.
$ which tmux
/home/james/local/bin/tmux
and, even if I drop manually into sh, I can still see tmux:
$ sh
> which tmux
> /home/james/local/bin/tmux
Why doesn't it see tmux?
