Tmux has support visual mode (at least character and line), I use it all the times.

I don't remember if it's enabled by default, but I have this in my ~/.tmuxrc (where pbcopy is the excellent https://github.com/skaji/remote-pbcopy-iterm2/blob/master/pb...)

  # Enable vi mode
  setw -g mode-keys vi

  # Copy to host
  bind-key -T copy-mode-vi v send-keys -X begin-selection
  bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-pipe "pbcopy"
  unbind -T copy-mode-vi Enter
  bind-key -T copy-mode-vi Enter send-keys -X copy-pipe "pbcopy"

It mostly work as expected, ctrl+B ] enter copy mode, then you can use / and ? to search, v to enter character visual mode, V to enter line visual mode and y/enter to copy the selection.
