How to copy from tmux running in putty to windows clipboard

Question

ENV: I am running tmux in putty, on a windows 7 laptop. I do ssh to linux systems while working.

I have to solve two glitches with tmux, before using it for all my needs.

Answer 1

Assuming mouse mode is already on, add this to your tmux config and selecting will now copy to your clipboard.

bind -Tcopy-mode MouseDragEnd1Pane send -X copy-selection-and-cancel\; run-shell -b "tmux show-buffer | clip"

Tested on v2.6
