Copy & Paste: Scrollback Mode in tmux not working

io flag

I searched on ask Ubuntu and found a similar question but the solution is not working for me. Here's the link: tmux copy mode not working in ubuntu16.04

With tmux I try to use the feature (Copy & Paste: Scrollback Mode) but it's not working when I try to copy.

So from a bash session in tmux, I enter the tmux prefix Ctrl+b + [ then where it seems to not work is where I try to mark the beginning of the selection with Ctrl + space or only space. I tried Alt + w to copy the selected text or pressed Enter in vain.

Here's the content of my ~/tmux.conf file which I generated with tmux show -g | cat > ~/.tmux.conf because I couldn't find it:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
