copy-paste not working in MacVim when launched in tmux

Now this is weird.

  • Copied a chunk of a text from somewhere into clipboard.
  • Ran mvim from a tmux buffer.
  • Opened a file in MacVim.
  • Pasted the text.
  • MacVim results with the error: E353: Nothing to register +
  • Nothing gets pasted.

The plot thickens: I try to copy this error -- paste fails.

I go over the same steps, this time running MacVim from a regular Terminal window (without tmux) -- Everything is in its right place.

Whaa?

When you use the mvim script, a copy of Vim is launched in the background. tmux is known to do weird things with copy and paste on Mac, so tmux is probably interfering in this manner.

There is an open ticket at the tmux SF site about getting pbcopy and pbpaste to work with tmux.
