From 3391b4cd2a6af92709b4e2542e00d51fc790f157 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dissimulo Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 17:35:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tmux: turn mouse mode off Mouse mode routed wheel events into the pane, where Claude Code's full-screen TUI repaints the whole screen in response. That repaint took the status bar with it, which is the flicker that has been chased for two weeks through X, NVIDIA, picom and hotplug settings -- none of which were involved. It reproduces on a bare framebuffer console with no X running at all. Disabling mouse mode keeps those events out of the pane entirely. Scrolling inside tmux is Ctrl-b [ as usual. Paired with CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE and CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_VIRTUAL_SCROLL exported in the shell, since the env block in Claude Code's settings.json does not reach the process. --- .tmux.conf | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/.tmux.conf b/.tmux.conf index 43d0a9e..00560ad 100644 --- a/.tmux.conf +++ b/.tmux.conf @@ -69,7 +69,7 @@ bind E setw synchronize-panes off # set first window to index 1 (not 0) to map more to the keyboard layout... set-option -g base-index 1 set-window-option -g pane-base-index 1 -set-window-option -g mouse on +set-window-option -g mouse off # color scheme (styled as vim-powerline) set -g status-left-length 52
