tmux does support scrolling and copy-paste, but they often work subtly differently than the way they do in a native terminal. For example, when I try putting `set -g mouse on` in `~/.tmux.conf`, scrolling mostly works fine but if I scroll up and then start typing or press up, I won't jump right to the bottom of the session the way I'm used to in native Alacritty (which I will often do as a way to return after scrolling back through a bunch of print output). This isn't a huge deal, and you can definitely get used to it, but it can be frustrating if you like how your normal terminal emulator works and don't want it to change.

nothing in life is free, what do you honestly expect?

This is kind of a strange comment to leave to the author of the tool that's being compared...

Obviously "nothing in life is free" - the person you're replying to literally spent a bunch of time writing a solution to their problem.

"what do you expect?" - the person literally wrote what they expected after having written the code to do exactly that. OP has been all over this thread being incredibly diplomatic in both explaining why they wrote a replacement for (part of) tmux, and constantly following it up with "but by all means if that doesn't sound right to you, use tmux it's a great tool".

It feels a lot like "well, if you don't like it go do it yourself", which is deeply ironic.
