Summary
In this chapter, we learned a lot about manipulating text, starting from understanding the Window history to learning about the two different modes in tmux to scroll up through the Window history. We then moved on to jumping by search or line, copying text into a paste buffer, using Copy mode to copy text. We finished by discussing how to paste items from the paste buffer to the underlying window, how to view the whole paste buffer stack, and how to limit the number of items stored in the paste buffer.
In the next chapter, we will get to some more advanced usage topics, including a deeper understanding of the paste buffer, a bit more on sessions and windows, and an opportunity to get a taste of launching tmux with defaults.
