I've been playing around with scripting certain actions in copy-mode,
and have run into what I believe to be a bug in recent CVS tmux.

If I run the command:

  tmux copy-mode \; send-keys 0 Space e Enter

(which in vi bindings should jump to the start of the line, start
selection, move to the end of the word, and copy-selection)

It does everything it should, _except_ the Enter. The same is true if I
have two panes open, and run:

  tmux send-keys -t :.- 0 Space e Enter

where the other pane is already open in copy-mode

If the other pane is _not_ in copy-mode, the Enter is sent through fine.

These constructs _do_ work directly from the : prompt, or when bound to
keys (and then triggering the bound key).

.

Side note: I find it awkward to be forced to do copy-mode scripting via
send-keys; it would be much nicer if it were possible to use the correct
copy-mode commands directly; especially since I can hardly write a
generic script if I'm reliant on the user's key-bindings being set a
certain way.
