I enter into copy mode and do a search of the tmux window buffer with /
. This works great, except when I want to do a second search, the original search term appears at the search prompt and I have to erase it by pressing and holding down the DELETE key. CTRL-U doesn't seem to clear the line. Is there a faster way to clear the search term than DELETE?

Since you mention using /
for searching, I will assume you are using vi-mode keys. The default vi-edit
key table does not bind C-u (it is bound to delete-line
in the emacs-edit
key table).
You can bind it manually (e.g. in your .tmux.conf
, or after <prefix>:
):
bind-key -t vi-edit C-u delete-line
