When copying a block of text in copy-mode, I found it surprising that the paste buffer did not contain the right-most character of the selection. This is true whether the cursor is on the left side or the right side of the selection block when the copy is performed. See this image for a concrete example: http://skitch.com/elasticdog/rsj21/tmux-on-halcyon
It was explained to me on IRC that this behavior is intended, and that it matches the behavior of killed text in Emacs. I am very much a Vim guy, and have always been used to the yanking behavior in Vim (which is also the behavior that GNU Screen adopts), where the paste buffer will contain the entire block of selected text. This is also true of most other programs that I'm aware of. Since there is already a means of altering a user's key binding preference using the mode-keys option, I thought it would be a nice if tmux would adjust the selection behavior based on that value as well. -- Aaron Bull Schaefer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
