how to make tmux both copy-pipe and clear selection ?

[Shiyao Ma]

Hi,

I'd like to tmux run the copy-pipe and then clear -selection.

The following binding fails.

tmux bind-key -Tcopy-mode-vi y send -X copy-pipe "nc localhost 8377" clear-selection

failed.

send -X copy-pipe "abc" \; send -X clear-selection

Here's the error I got:

❯❯❯ tmux bind-key -Tcopy-mode-vi y send -X copy-pipe "nc localhost 8377" \; send -X clear-selection

not in a mode

Try \\; instead of \;

Thanks. quoting '\;' works.
