No. Tmux copies things to its own internal paste buffers without touching the system clipboard. To pipe the current buffer to xclip do this: $ tmux saveb - | xclip -i -selection clipboard For doing this more easily in the future add these two bindings to your tmux.conf: # Copy tmux paste buffer to CLIPBOARD # Use save-buffer instead of show-buffer to avoid inserting spurious linebreaks bind-key C-y run-shell -b "tmux save-buffer - | xclip -i -selection clipboard" # Copy CLIPBOARD to tmux paste buffer and paste tmux paste buffer bind-key C-p run-shell "xclip -o -selection clipboard | tmux load-buffer -; tmux paste-buffer" Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
