how to save the line number of a double-clicked line in tmux
In tmux I have the following command in my `.tmux.conf`, which will save a double-clicked line to the file `/tmp/tmux_line.txt`: ```tmux bind-key -n DoubleClick1Pane select-pane \; copy-mode -M \; send-keys -X select-line \; send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "cat > /tmp/tmux_line.txt" ``` Is there a way to modify this command to save the *line number* instead of (or in addition to) the line itself? I know that tmux keeps track of line numbers as it has commands such as `goto-line` in copy mode. I looked through the tmux manual, but I can't figure it out.
