I *just* subscribed now, but I was wrestling with nearly the same problem
yesterday. Here's my kludge of rebinding with unprefixed keys.
Hard to follow, I know, but the gist is that when entering copy mode it
rebinds y and Enter (unprefixed) to source scripts. The scripts in turn do
actions and rebind other keys. In order to execute copy-mode actions from
the global bindings, it rebinds the copy-mode actions to a temporary key T,
then send-keys T to execute the action. I'm sure there are bugs in this if
there are ways to exit out of copy mode that I haven't considered.
I think the cleaner solution would be to allow the full command parser in
all the key tables, but this was easier than making that change to the
source.
.tmux.conf:
bind-key C-c source-file /home/disser/.tmux-copy-mode
/home/disser/.tmux-copy-mode:
bind-key -n y send-keys 0 \; source "/home/disser/.tmux-begin-selection" \;
send-keys "\$"
bind-key -n Enter source /home/disser/.tmux-begin-selection
bind-key -n q source /home/disser/.tmux-cancel-selection
copy-mode
/home/disser/.tmux-begin-selection:
bind-key -n y source /home/disser/.tmux-copy-selection
bind-key -n Enter source /home/disser/.tmux-copy-selection
bind-key -t vi-copy T begin-selection
send-keys T
unbind-key -t vi-copy T
/home/disser/.tmux-begin-selection:
unbind-key -n y
unbind-key -n Enter
unbind-key -n q
bind-key -t vi-copy T copy-selection
send-keys T
unbind-key -t vi-copy T
/home/disser/.tmux-cancel-selection:
unbind-key -n q
unbind-key -n Enter
unbind-key -n y
bind-key -t vi-copy T cancel
send-keys T
unbind-key -t vi-copy T
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original message:
With:
bind-key Y send-keys '^' Space '$' Enter
I can hit prefix + Y in copy-mode and get it to copy the line.
Not an optimal solution, but an acceptable workaround.
Of course now I remember that that sequence used to be repeatable (5Y to
copy 5 lines)...
that may be a bit trickier to recreate.
It might be easier to patch the source and add a copy-line command
instead...
i'll put that on my todo list. Â :-)
Thanks!
