Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Hi, I searched around Google but couldn't find a working answer.
Going so far as reinstalling an xserver on macOS with brew and exporting display using -Y to forward it trough ssh unsecurely to no avail.
I can't get copy to work from inside Micro inside a Tmux session on my iTerm2 Client.
I have mouse-reporting enabled, and in-fact I can copy just fine from just tmux itself (Text is selected in yellow, and on release it copy just fine and report it back to macOS correctly, even if it's a remote SSH session). So my guess is that it struggle to go one level below (micro) and report it to tmux which has to report it back to iTerm2 client.
Thanks a lot for reading.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported copy failure with Micro 2.0.10 inside a tmux session launched from iTerm2, including over SSH on the listed Raspberry Pi environment. Start by tracing how mouse reporting and terminal clipboard copy are handled across Micro and tmux; done means selected text copies back to macOS reliably in this setup.
