A highly opinionated copying plugin inspired by several predecessors:
Written primarily for personal use. Relies on copypasta-ext for system clipboard support. Currently only used on Linux/Wayland, but in theory it should work on other operating systems.
Requires Rust to compile the binaries, and tpm to manage the tmux installation.
- Add
set -g @plugin 'nwtnni/tmux-copy'to your.tmux.conf - Install with
<PREFIX>-I - Navigate to your plugin directory (typically
~/.tmux/plugins) - Run
cargo build --releaseto compile
- Not very configurable
- Requires Rust compiler to build binaries from source
- Allows overlapping matches
- Regular expressions defined in find
- M 5A6A atching colors defined in main
- Hint strings defined in hint
- Key binding (
<PREFIX>-f) defined in tmux-copy.tmux
- Uses regex as the underlying search engine
- Scans each line once with a RegexSet to determine if any specific regular expression matches. Scans again for each regular expression that matches at least once in the line. Assuming matches are sparse, we'll only scan each line a single time independently of how many specific regular expressions there are.
- Generates hint strings at compile time using a fun macro
- Minimizes calls to
tmux
