ENV: I am running tmux in putty, on a windows 7 laptop. I do ssh to linux systems while working.
I have to solve two glitches with tmux, before using it for all my needs.
I have to copy some text to the windows notepad from vim or the tmux terminal. I have enabled mouse support for both vim and putty.
I have tried "*y and "+y but both of them doesn't work. If I use putty's ability for copy then it copies the content of adjacent grids also.
I have to copy some content from vim file in one pane to vim file opened in another pane. Is there any vim trick for this. I don't want to use <C-b>[ way of doing it.
Problem 1 is haunting me more, because there is a w/a for problem 2.

If you use tmux's copy mode keyboard commands to select some text and then click Ctrl + c or y it'll copy it into the system clipboard. y is the key that tmux-yank uses for copying to the clipboard, the same as vim's “yank” key (which ironically doesn't use the system clipboard by default in vim).
Use the 'Ctrl+spacebar' to start copying. Step 3. Move with the arrow keys to the position of the text you want to copy to. When you have finished selecting the text, press 'Alt+w' or 'Ctrl+w' to copy the text to a Tmux Buffer.
To copy from Windows and paste into PuTTY, highlight the text in Windows, press " Ctrl-C ," select the PuTTY window, and press the right mouse button to paste. To copy from PuTTy and paste into Windows, highlight the information in PuTTY and press " Ctrl-V " in the Windows application to paste it.
I use putty v0.62 and tmux v1.8.
