Yank copies text between selection end and bash input, not the selection itself

Steps to reproduce:
-
Enter selection mode using 'Ctrl + Space + [' --> Navigate to start of line with
HJKL
--> Start selection usingv
--> Navigate until end of line.
-
Copy selection using
Ctrl + Space + y
. It shows "Line copied successfully at the bottom, but that was lost in the screenshot.
-
Paste copied text using
Ctrl + Shift + v
. Text does not matches selection at all.
Here's my ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf:
set-option -sa terminal-overrides ",xterm*:Tc"
set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"
set -g mouse on
set -g set-clipboard on
unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-Space
bind C-Space send-prefix
# Vim style pane selection
bind h select-pane -L
bind j select-pane -D
bind k select-pane -U
bind l select-pane -R
# Start windows and panes at 1, not 0
set -g base-index 1
set -g pane-base-index 1
set-window-option -g pane-base-index 1
set-option -g renumber-windows on
# Use Alt-arrow keys without prefix key to switch panes
bind -n M-Left select-pane -L
bind -n M-Right select-pane -R
bind -n M-Up select-pane -U
bind -n M-Down select-pane -D
# Shift arrow to switch windows
bind -n S-Left previous-window
bind -n S-Right next-window
# Shift Alt vim keys to switch windows
bind -n M-H previous-window
bind -n M-L next-window

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-yank'
set -g @catppuccin_flavour 'mocha'
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
# set vi-mode
set-window-option -g mode-keys vi
# keybindings
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi v send-keys -X begin-selection
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi C-v send-keys -X rectangle-toggle
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-selection-and-cancel
bind '"' split-window -v -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind % split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
Okay, while Ctrl + Shift + v
just pastes gibberish, Ctrl + Space + y
works fine.
Still gonna wait for a reply before I close this, though.
This is quite old, sorry... How did to paste with Ctrl + Space + y
? It just says "Line copied successfully" again, even though I am not in the visual mode anymore.
Also, isn't the failure of Ctrl + Shift + v
because the tmux clipboard is separate from the system clipboard?
