extrakto VS reptyr

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

The extrakto plugin https://github.com/laktak/extrakto

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.

https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr I guess this is what your looking for (it reparents a process, while retaining stdin/out using the ptrace syscall and some linux hacks iiuc)

Start CPython and import the libraries. Then keep the process running as a fork server. Whenever a new instance it needed, we make a fork (os.fork), and apply a similar logic as reptyr. Some technical details are here.

Very much reminds me of reptyr

- reptyr: https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr

using mosh means i don't get SIGHUP, and if i use my local display, i can open another mosh, reptr my old session (it's still there!) and keep on hacking.

I know there is reptyr to reattaching running process to another tty. You can probably do the same from within the program. There is an abandoned rust rewrite you can probably ignore.

Alternatively, there's also reptyr, which allows you to reattach to a detached process - thereby giving you access to the standard input and standard output of a running Minecraft server instance.
