scrolling mousewheel gives error

[TxHawks]

After installing the plugin and reloading the conf file, I get the following when scrolling the mouse: Usage: copy-mode [-Mu] [-t target-pane]

Mouse-related options in config file:

set -g mouse-utf8 on 
set -g mouse on

Can you check that you've got tmux 2.1 by running tmux -V?

tmux 2.1 should support copy-mode -e

I'm using 2.1

What happens when you open the tmux command prompt (Ctrl-b + : ) and run copy-mode -e?

Same message as above

Hmm, that's definitely weird. In that case, it doesn't sound like this plugin is to blame... Have you asked on the tmux repo?

[NHDaly]

Was this ever resolved?

[TxHawks]

@NHDaly -

Not yet. I need to try and ask at the tmux repo. Will update if I manage to figure it out.

Cool. I think it would also help, actually if you could paste here what your WheelUpPane and WheelDownPane bindings are by running tmux list-keys -T root. For an example, mine look like this:

$ tmux list-keys -T root
...
bind-key -T root WheelUpPane      if-shell -F -t = #{mouse_any_flag} "send-keys -M" "if-shell -Ft= '#{alternate_on}' 'send-keys -M' "if -Ft= '#{pane_in_mode}' ' send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; ' ' copy-mode -e -t='""
bind-key -T root WheelDownPane    if-shell -F -t = #{mouse_any_flag} "send-keys -M" "if-shell -Ft= '#{alternate_on}' 'send-keys -M' "if -Ft= '#{pane_in_mode}' ' send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; ' ' send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; '""

Thanks! :)

The output of tmux list-keys -T root is:

bind-key -T root MouseDown1Pane   select-pane -t = ; send-keys -M
bind-key -T root MouseDown1Status select-window -t =
bind-key -T root MouseDrag1Pane   if-shell -F -t = #{mouse_any_flag} "if -Ft= "#{pane_in_mode}" "copy-mode -M" "send-keys -M"" "copy-mode -M"
bind-key -T root MouseDrag1Border resize-pane -M
bind-key -T root WheelUpPane      if-shell -F -t = #{mouse_any_flag} "send-keys -M" "if-shell -Ft= '#{alternate_on}' 'send-keys -M' "if -Ft= '#{pane_in_mode}' ' send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; ' ' copy-mode -e -t='""
bind-key -T root WheelDownPane    if-shell -F -t = #{mouse_any_flag} "send-keys -M" "if-shell -Ft= '#{alternate_on}' 'send-keys -M' "if -Ft= '#{pane_in_mode}' ' send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; ' ' send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; send-keys -M ; '""

There seem to be two extra send-keys -Ms in WheelUpPane and WheelDownPane, compared with yours.

Thanks!

Oh, yeah, that's because I've set @scroll-speed-num-lines-per-scroll to 2 instead of the default, 3. Sorry that's confusing.

Yep, plugin looks okay, so it's gotta be something with your tmux. I'm gonna close this Issue for now, but feel free to open it again if you're stuck in the future. Good luck! :)
