tmux config: what is -t in bind-key setting should mean?

Suddenly my tmux started with error .tmux.conf:41: usage: bind-key [-cnr] [-T key-table] key command [arguments] on that line in tmux.conf was bind-key -t vi-copy v begin-selection I suppose, the problem is with -t key, which is not predicted by bind-key command. But it was working!

Solution

  • The different types of key table were integrated together and the -t flag dropped several years ago. Copy mode commands are now sent using send -X and the new table is called copy-mode-vi.

    So your example becomes:

    bind-key -Tcopy-mode-vi v send -X begin-selection
