==== Awesome tmux and iTerm2 Intergration ====

24 Apr 2016

Don’t you just love tmux? With tmux your command line session could be always there even your terminal crashes or you accidentally closed the tab. But a few things bug me a little: 
  - Scrolling history with mouse is painful. 
  - Awkward keystrokes, switching window with ''{prefix}+num''? I feel lazy (my prefix is ''C-q'' btw) 
  - Copy-mode anyone? Press ''{prefix} + ['' to enter copy mode, start selection, finish by ''{Enter}'', however you can get away with holding ''⌥'' while selecting with mouse.

Basically, I want tmux be "more native", good news it’s possible when you use iTerm2:

Once the option is selected, you start your tmux session with command ''tmux -CC'' (or ''tmux -CC attach'' when you have tmux session already), it turns tmux windows into iTerm tabs, and even better, tmux panes become native iTerm panes, no more tmux mouse-select-pane hacks! Scrolling back? Searching history? All fixed :)

Another useful tip: use [[https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator|tmuxinator]], it really streamlines my tmux workflow.
