I recently discovered Byobu (which is basically jazzed-up Tmux) and found that it doesn’t pass the Shift key modifiers to my text editor. The available Tmux/Emacs solutions in Google didn’t really work. Here’s what worked for me.
1. First you need a terminal that supports the Shift keys in the first place. I recommend Terminator . Some Android-based terminals do not support shift-selection, but JuiceSSH (most popular in Google Play) works, though I haven’t extensively tested it yet.
To test this on the remote server, you might want something like the showkey command.
2. Edit ~/.byobu/.tmux.conf on the remote server and the file should be empty. Add these lines:
setw -g xterm-keys on setw -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"3. Logout and restart Byobu.
4. Test it: echo $TERM
It should say “xterm-256color”
5. Great! Start your text editor that supports Shift-selections, such as Jupp or Micro , and (temporarily) disable Byobu keybindings with Shift-F12 while you’re editing your document. Shift-selection keys should now work!
Thanks for your support.BTC -
