In order to copy text to X clipboard in tmux, what I currently do is:go selection mode with prefix[start selection with space (using mode-keys vi btw)select the text and press entercopy tmux buffer to X clipboard using prefixctrl+c(I have a mapping as bind C-c run tmux show-buffer | xclip -selection clipboard -iI'm trying to eliminate some of these steps by making a mapping for selection mode. I have tried:bind-key -t vi-copy C-c run tmux show-buffer | xclip -selection clipboard -iwhich gives me and error:.. usage: bind-key [-cnr] [-t key-table] key command [arguments](I couldn't copy the error)how can I fix this?EDIT: I have realized I can select and copy to tmux buffer (first 3 steps) using mouse just like a regular selection (although highlighting doesn't last, it still selects the text) and then use the following bind to copy to x clipboard:bind-key -n C-c run tmux show-buffer | xclip -selection clipboard -i(I used this method to copy this text and it was easy ;)note that -n denotes no prefix therefore no escaping is needed. if you don't get confused by the vanishing highlight this is analogous to regular (common user interface) copying.this is the best I have come up with so far..EDIT2: turned out ctrl+c overlaps with process interrupt thing so I changed to ctrl+alt+c for now. (didn't quite like it)EDIT3: tmux 1.8 or so added support to add keybindings in copy mode so now my first original intention is possible using something like:bind-key -tvi-copy y copy-pipe xclip -selection clipboard -ibind-key -tvi-copy enter copy-pipe xclip -selection clipboard -iThese two bindings make it possible to copy text to clipboard when I used enter or y to finish copying.I still keep this line in case I do the copying with mouse and decide to get the tmux buffer content to clipboard later on:bind-key y run tmux show-buffer | xclip -selection clipboard -i
