Is there a way to copy the whole tmux window buffer over ssh connection to a Linux or Windows system? So far I only saw iterm2 tmux control mode supporting this on osx. I saw lots of terminals have feature requests open for this functionality but none of them have traction on getting this feature implemented due to the lack of tmux control mode documentation. Terminator has a fork release supporting it but it did work well when I tried it.


Tmux supports your local clients clipboard, so if you are in a tmux-session from your local client, you can copy your scrollback history (or window), into the clipboard, and just paste it locally. I do precisely that dozens of times a day.
