extrakto VS smenu

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.

You can also use smenu (https://github.com/p-gen/smenu) to make these and many other selections.

Here are the relevant bits of the source (in [smenu.c](https://github.com/p-gen/smenu/blob/master/smenu.c):

Here are the bindings for smenu-history, I found somewhere at the site:

I suggest a name change, so your smenu, isn't confused with this smenu, which is a totally different entity, can present the menus in columns, lines and tabular fashion, has hotkey support, and so much more, I don't know if it is POSIX compliant, but it can also be used with sh, and just not bash.
