I'm trying to send content of tmux buffer to a system clipboard, the one you can gain access through xsel -b . When I enter the copy mode and select some lines, I can copy it by pressing enter. Now, to send this to the system clipboard I have to type:
$ tmux save-buffer - | xsel -b -i After that I'm able to paste the copied text, for example, in geany, gedit or in whatever place I want. I tried to bind this action, so I could use a shortcut, and I placed the following line in the tmux config: bind C-y run "tmux save-buffer - | xsel -b -i" But this doesn't work. After pressing ctrl+a(prefix) + ctrl+y I got screen which I think is a content of my system clipboard. This isn't the text I copied in the copy mode in tmux. If I go to firefox and copy something there, after pressing the shortcut, I get the copied content. When I list buffers, I can see the copied text which was selected in the tmux copy mode, but I think the "run" command does nothing, or I'm using it wrong. Anyway "tmux save-buffer -" works when typed manually, but it doesn't when it's used in the tmux config file. Does anyone know why?
