 ===== 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 ]'' | paste from buffer |
+**Copy Mode Commands:**

+| ''Ctrl-[spacebar]''      | start selection    |
