Make tmux cut/paste work on mac terminal.app so I don't have to install iterm2 bloatware.

I select with mouse and paste to wherever, works every time?

How can it not work? I think the only even loosely relevant setting on my .tmux.conf is: set -g mouse on

It's the non mouse stuff i want. It's a known problem with a lot of "try this" approaches to fixing but no categorical answer. Nothing wrong with mice but keyboards have a role too.
