Interesting.. well at least "screen capture" feature or "clean pane history" should work because they are relatively simple.

Which terminal are you using? Are you sure alt mappings work ok in your terminal? When pressing prefix + alt + p you should hit prefix first, then alt-p together.

Another thing you can try is changing the key bindings just to verify the script works. Put the following in .tmux.conf:

set -g @screen-capture-key 'M'

Then reload the config file with tmux source ~/.tmux.conf. Now when you hit prefix + M does the "screen capture" feature work?

Mac's own Terminal(2.5) and iTerm2(Build 2.1.1), and I am not sure if I remap alt key or not. I will paste may .tmux.conf at last, u can check it

When pressing prefix + alt + p you should hit prefix first, then alt-p together.

yes, alt key is option,right? if yes, the way I do just as u say

Then reload the config file with tmux source ~/.tmux.conf. Now when you hit prefix + M does the "screen capture" feature work?

yes, it works now

It seems like my alt key not works right way.

Think you so much for your patience.

Hey @mintisan, your .tmux.conf looks good, there's nothing unusual there.

As you said, it seems alt (or option) key does not work for you currently. You can easily fix this for Terminal.app by setting "Use option as Meta key" in the options:

Does this fix the issue?

To test alt/option key separately, I usually just run cat -v command in the terminal. Then, pressing for example alt-a key should output the following on the screen ^[a. alt-b outputs ^[b, alt-c => ^[c etc.

@bruno-

After doing as what you sayed, it now works in 3 mode below:

1. Logging with prefix + shift + p
2. Save complete history with prefix + alt + shift + p
3. Clear pane history with prefix + alt + c

but not in 2. "Screen capture" mode when I enter prefix + alt + p. It shows message No Previous Window. But I am sure I enter alt +p, not p, which is Tmux's own keybing for previous window. And I comment

# tmux-logging
# set -g @screen-capture-key 'M'

and tmux source ~/.tmux.conf to reload .tmux

Should I tmux kill-server or restart system?

[mintisan]

Oh, yes, we should tmux kill-server after changing Terminal's settting. Or the 2. "Screen capture" won't work . Now All the default key-binding for 4 work mode are working...

I think you can close this Issue now.

Think you so much for your patience Again.

Hey, aside from tmux kill-server, you can just reload tmux config with tmux source ~/.tmux.conf command and new config should work.

I'm glad you got it all working.

Just a followup for iTerm, similar issue. Need to set option to "+Esc" in the profile "keys" setting. See bottom of image.

Should the keyboard shortcuts work on OSX by replacing alt with esc? They are not for me in iTerm2.
