  • Wezterm QuickSelect

    After using tmux for more than a decade, I’ve recently moved away from it and switched to using the multiplex features in wezterm. One of my favorite plugins for tmux is tmux-thumbs. This allowed me to write patterns using regex and press a shortcut to highlight those patterns. It would give me a set of quick keys I could type that would then either copy the text to my clipboard or paste it to the command line. This comes in very handy when using kubectl and dealing with pod names.

    I really recommend tmux-thumbs . It is similar to extracto and you can pick up text from the screen with few key strokes.

    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.
