Hi!

I've been using tmux in the last years but only in a Linux environment. Recently, I've switched to macos (darwin20.0) and I'm noticing some weird facts. Does anybody know why I can't find references for clear-history in macos? There is no mention in the manual page, the command is displayed in autocompletion when using command prompt but it doesn't work.

In macos, I'm using the 3.2a version, installed by homebrew.

Best,

Nicholas Marriott

Are you sure you are looking at the man page that corresponds to your tmux version? Does "tmux list-commands" show it?

Actually it does! Thing is, I have a bind in my config file (https://github.com/devdrops/my-dotfiles/blob/main/tmux/.tmux.conf#L106) which works on Linux, but it doesn't in macos (when hitting prefix + ? the bind is not present), even though there are no errors when loading the same config file.

What if you do the bind from the shell or command prompt? Or remove some of the commands, does it appear?

Tried both but still the same result =/

However, I've deleted the bind from my config file, closed all sessions and also iTerm, started it all again in a new session, and then tried by using the command prompt directly like `clear-history -t 0.0`, and it worked. Maybe there's an issue with my config file since I've been using Linux for a long time, but it's strange that there's no error when loading it. I'll try to go deep into this before new conclusions.

Thanks for the help!
