Scroll with your mouse on a remote mosh tmux session

The syntax in this article doesn't work on recent versions of tmux. The new syntax is simply `set-option -g mouse`.

Also, `mosh` is amazing... it's so great being able to still work on my dev VM from a tethered connection on a public bus.

iTerm2 3.0's tmux integrations take a little bit of work to set up locally, but you only have to do that once, and as long as your remote servers have a reasonably recent version of tmux (1.8, I believe), just replace filippo's `mosh HOST -- tmux a` with `ssh HOST -t 'tmux -CC new -A -s main'` (no mosh required).

yes, mosh isn't required, except with mosh you get magic roaming, disconnection support, etc. mosh is the best way to do remote shells from a mobile device (laptop, phone, etc).

Isn't the 'disconnection support' (and by extension, roaming) one of the big points of tmux? This is one of the reasons why I never bothered with mosh -- I have screen/tmux, what's the point?

it saves having to type ssh again :) Plus it's generally faster being UDP, and having predictive echo.

I just tried Yakuake + mosh + fish; mouse history scrolling just works in default settings.

I've been trying to get smooth scrolling with the mouse wheel for about a year now with tmux to no avail. The solution presented in this article will give you janky scrolling (as it mentions in the notes).

Note that this article is from 2014, which confused me for a moment. I’ve had this exact setup working for quite a while, using a regular mosh release.
