To get Tmux + pbcopy/pbpaste working:

    brew install reattach-to-user-namespace

IIRC this only works on OS X 10.7, but check out https://github.com/ChrisJohnsen/tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard to read more.

At the very top of your ~/.tmux.conf (assuming you're using zsh as your shell)

    set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh"

This will now enable pbcopy + pbpaste. There are still a couple other things you'll want to run:

In ~/bin/tmux_copy:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    while true; do
      if [[ -n $(tmux showb 2> /dev/null) ]]; then
        $(tmux saveb -|pbcopy && tmux deleteb)
      fi
      sleep 0.5
    done

I'll then run and background that:

    $ tmux_copy&

This will copy your tmux buffer into the pasteboard.

Finally, you'll want to set up Vim to use OS X's system clipboard so that you can copy/paste out of vim:

    # somewhere in your ~/.vimrc or a file that gets sourced by ~/.vimrc
    set clipboard=unnamed
