Hi!
The 3 minute timeout on staying in copy mode is rather disturbing for log analysis. Whenever I need to read a section of a log scrolling by and think about it for a bit, tmux drops me back to the latest line after 3 minutes which obviously kills focus. I don't find it an ideal solution to be clicking up-down buttons every few minutes just to keep the section in front of me; nor piping the log into a separate file and opening this in a text viewer (it's already right there in front of me, why should I go through the extra trouble?).
How would I go about disabling this behaviour? I've seen a thread (https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/573927/450600) which points to a constant WINDOW_MODE_TIMEOUT in tmux.h but I'd rather not maintain my own bastardized packages in Debian if a workaround (preferably a configuration setting) exists.

Oh, right - the version of tmux I have in Debian stable is 3.1c.
