Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tmux/issues/135

I recently wrote a small plugin when copying with the mouse
the problem it solves is word/line copy on double/triple click: the selection doesn't have a fixed timeout (default behavior) and stops when you release the mouse, and works also if you don't move the mouse (select a single word and release - without this plugin and a simple hook rebinding you would remain in copy mode with the word still selected, and have to press escape or another key to exit copy mode)

I find it pretty useful, a minor thing but it really bothered me, if you can add it it will probably be useful also for others.

if you want a more brief description maybe something like "word/line copy on double/triple click without fixed timeout and without remaining stuck in copy mode"

thank you!
