 ===== Copy =====
+**__Resource__:** [[https://www.rushiagr.com/blog/2016/06/16/everything-you-need-to-know-about-tmux-copy-pasting-ubuntu/ | Everything you need to know about tmux copy]]
+**To copy outside tmux:** You should be able to highlight with your mouse (shift + left-mouse-button). Once highlighted, go to the program where you want to paste and click the middle-mouse-button.
+  * If that doesn't work (sometimes it does... sometimes it doesn't... and that drives me nuts!)...
+  * **Shift + Left-Mouse-Button:** This highlights the text you want to copy. Then just go to the window/program into which you want to paste and middle-mouse-button to paste (i.e., Linux default behavior).
+**To copy inside tmux:** See the following...
+**Key Bindings:**
+^ Command      ^ Description       ^
+| ''Ctrl-b ['' | enter copy mode   |
+| ''Ctrl-b ]'' | paste from buffer |
+**Copy Mode Commands:**
+^ Command                  ^ Description        ^
+| ''Ctrl-[spacebar]''      | start selection    |
+| ''Ctrl-w'' or ''Alt-w''  | copy selection     |
+| ''Ctrl-[Esc]''           | clear selection    |
+| ''Ctrl-g''               | go to top          |
