extrakto VS Amethyst

For me personally tmux giver minor improvements (some of them are done by some terminals, some are not), e.g.:

* Text selection using variuos shortcuts (usually I use it only for URL):

* FZF autocompletion from output, e.g. in case I want to diff some file I see changed in `git status`:

In Linux I use tmux with the extrakto plugin to conveniently re-type or copy-to-clipboard text that was outputted by a previous command.

For me, tmux is the terminal/workspace manager, nvim is the editor. If I want to work on a different repo/workspace, I open a new tmux window and open a new nvim in that window. If I need to do stuff on the terminal, opening a new tmux pane feels more natural than opening a new nvim split with a terminal. Also this tmux plugin is great: https://github.com/laktak/extrakto

extrakto - let's you do a fuzzy search across all the words/lines/extracted objects/etc in your pane or window and put it in current command

A tmux plugin that I use all the time is extrakto: https://github.com/laktak/extrakto

My favorite is extracto that helps to extract text segments on display so that you don't have to use mouse

Only glanced at it but didn't see it mention 'V' which selects rows rather than characters. Which can be quite useful.

There are also tmux plugins to make some operations smoother.

Like keyboard driven browsers uses hints, so file paths, git SHAs etc. are highlighted using a small hint and if you press it it is copied.

Fuzzy search in current pane to insert/copy things of interest.

I'm using amethyst as my Window manager, and I'm feeling fine

And for the second part, we have Wins to manually drag and set the window position, and Amethyst to set it automatically.

If you find the native window management lackluster (like I do), you can install a window manager like Amethyst, or yabai, veeer, or many others.

I also used Amethyst, but I think yabai is much better

Amethyst is my tiling manager of choice for macOS: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/

It was a little buggy when Ventura dropped, but it gets frequent updates and has stabilized in the past few months.

This can be done through third party programs such as amethyst. It's not a native feature unless I am mistakened.

`cask "amethyst"` [link][oss] for `i3` like window management

> tmux helps all 3, but not particular good at either.

iTerm2 on macOS has some nice tmux integration[1]. Basically, you run a tmux session (using tmux -CC), but the actual window management on the client side is handled by iTerm2. This works pretty nicely with the tiling WM (Amethyst[2]) I use on macOS.

If anybody is aware of Wayland compositors that integrate similarly, please let me know. I'd love to be able to do the same on my linux machines.
