Very cool. How about set -g mouse-select-pane to allow selecting panes using the mouse? (1.8)

works in xterm, however not in linux consoles

Okay, thanks for the info. That was not in my focus.

Sadly I found mouse-select-pane broke my ability to copy/paste with my urxvt+Vim combo

Incompatible with tmux >= 2.9 (invalid option errors).

Hey guys, I'm back in Linux after 10+ yrs and this site...Great stuff! I need help w/TMUX, as it has really helped out w/SSD testing and debug, even though I'd only use it occasionally. But now I'm at Ricoh, and I've got 20+ dev machines to use. I need help with where to place my tmux.conf or how to set environment (Linux) so I can source (source ~/.tmux.conf) when I've done mods to that file...Please can you help??
