  I recently switched to synchronize-panes to replace clusterssh. I typically
  drive between 5 and 10 machines in the same cluster to do upgrades and
  installs outside of the puppet standard stuff. With the sync option I no
  longer need X to do that, I can drive everything from tmux.

Right now I need to revert to the terminals or OS' copy/paste when I need to
either upgrade a defined list of packages, go to/edit a long path, fetch a file
from a URL, etc. I can deal with it, I only rarely need to do that in the
console where I don't have copy/paste available.

The weirdest part about it is how it changes the way you work with copy-mode.
When you scroll up with synchronized panes, you have to grab your mouse in
order to copy something, then quit copy-mode with q instead of Enter and paste
from the OS instead of prefix-].

I agree, but isn't this a case where you would want to disable synchronization
for this specific pane? What do you think of an option to toggle it per pane?

Also what do you think about a flag to paste-buffer? That would allow a simple
bind to make it work for my case without affecting the current default
behavior.
