//
// session_serialization false

// Whether pane viewports are serialized along with the session, default is false
// Options:
//   - true

// serialize_pane_viewport true

// Scrollback lines to serialize along with the pane viewport when serializing sessions, 0

// Valid values: positive integers
// Default value: 10000

// scroll_buffer_size 10000

// Provide a command to execute when copying text. The text will be piped to

//
// copy_clipboard "primary"

// Enable or disable automatic copy (and clear) of selection when releasing mouse
