Thanks Nicholas and Thiago. I am reading the man page from the latest
commit in git but I am still confused:
-------------------
One command in accepts an argument, copy-pipe, which copies the selection
and pipes it to a command. For example the following will bind ‘C-q’ to
copy the selection into /tmp as well as the paste buffer:
bind-key -temacs-copy C-q copy-pipe "cat >/tmp/out"
--------------------
It looks like copy-pype is meant to be used in part to pipe the selection
to another command. There also seem to be some typos:
* "temacs-copy" ?
* "One command in accepts an argument" ?
Either way, what I would like to do is:
==========
*** Copying: ***
1) Enter copy mode
2) Move to the text I want to copy using Emacs navigation commands (i.e.
C-space to set mark, C-f,C-b, M-f, M-b, C-a, C-e to move the cursor). No
prefix for any of these.
3) Copy the selected text into the clipboard with: M-w (no prefix)
*** Pasting: ***
1) Just type C-y (without having to enter coyp mode) to paste (no prefix
either)
==========
How can I use copy-pipe for this purpose??
I have tried the following for copying without luck:
bind-key -n M-w run "tmux save-buffer - | xclip -i -selection clipboard"
However, pasting works great:
bind-key -n C-y run "xclip -o | tmux load-buffer - ; tmux paste-buffer"
The odd thing is that I know that "xclip -i -selection clipboard" works,
since I can copy things to the clipboard using the command line:
echo "Hello world. How are you?" | xclip -i -selection clipboard
With all this, How can i copy a selection from copy mode to the clipboard?
Note again that I am using the latest version of tmux (from the git repo)
and of xclip on Linux.
Thanks,
James
