.tmux: Cannot get vi-copy working

vi-mode doesn’t work for me, I can go in select mode with C-a enter but then I can only select text with C-space and not with v. What am I missing? I’m using tmux 2.5

Hello,

As noted in README.md:

If you’re a Vim user, setting the EDITOR environment variable to vim will enable and further customize the vi-style key bindings (see tmux manual).

If you don’t want to export EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables, you can customize your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy and uncomment the following lines:

#set -g status-keys vi
#set -g mode-keys vi

Are you sure all tmux server process are killed/restarted?
