# Get Mouse Copy/Paste Working In Kitty
|
|
|
|
With tmux's mouse mode enabled (`set-option -g -q mouse on`), you can use the
|
|
mouse to make a drag selection of some text. You can then paste it within a
|
|
tmux session using `Cmd+v`.
|
|
|
|
If you are using tmux within the [Kitty terminal
|
|
emulator](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/), you'll get more text pasted than
|
|
you bargained for. Kitty's clipboard _appends_ by default. So after several
|
|
selections have made there way into tmux's buffer history, a paste will result
|
|
in all of those buffers values being appended together and output to the
|
|
terminal.
|
|
|
|
To fix this, you need to change Kitty's clipboard to be `no-append`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf
|
|
clipboard_control write-clipboard write-primary no-append
|
|
```
