Many people complain about the all or nothing behavior of tmux mouse mode,
as it interferes with the usual mouse operations (eg see workarounds [1])
The workarounds are not good (eg, require to get in and out of mouse mode
etc)
Can we have an option to enable this:
* when user holds ALT button and uses mouse (mouse wheel or clicking) it
forwards behavior to tmux
* when user doesn't hold ALT button, mouse behaves as default.
Use case:
on OSX, copy paste with mouse requires to either temporarily disable mouse
mode (see [1]) or to hold ALT to get that behavior. However that doesn't
make much sense (if I only want tmux mouse mode for scrolling but not
override for copy paste it's not possible), and also it makes it
*impossible* AFAIK to use iterm's nifty 'semantic history' feature
(allowing COMMAND+click on a piece of text to perform user-defined action,
such as opening a file etc).
