tmux-fingers

tmux-fingers: copy pasting with vimium/vimperator like hints.

Usage

When called ( prefix + F ), it will highlight relevant stuff in the current pane along with letter hints. By pressing those letters, the highlighted match will be yanked. Less keystrokes == profit!

Relevant stuff:

File paths
git SHAs
numbers with 4+ digits

It also works on copy mode, but requires tmux 2.2 or newer to properly take the scroll position into account.

Installation

Using Tmux Plugin Manager

Add the following to your list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'Morantron/tmux-fingers'

Hit prefix + I to fetch and source the plugin. You should now be able to use the plugin!

Manual

Clone the repo:

➜ git clone https://github.com/Morantron/tmux-fingers ~/clone/path

Source it in your .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/tmux-fingers.tmux

Reload TMUX conf by running:

tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

Customization

You can change the key that invokes tmux-fingers:

# F is the default, but you can set another one
set -g @fingers-key F

You can also add additional patterns if you want more stuff to be highlighted:

set -g @fingers-pattern-0 'git rebase --(abort|continue)'
set -g @fingers-pattern-1 'yolo'
.
.
.
set -g @fingers-pattern-50 'whatever.*'

NOTE: patterns are case insensitive, and grep's extended syntax should be used. man grep for more info.

If the introduced regexp contains an error, an error will be shown when invoking the plugin.

Acknowledgements and inspiration

This plugin is heavily inspired by tmux-copycat ( tmux-fingers predefined search are copycatted :trollface: from tmux-copycat ).

Kudos to bruno- for paving the way to tmux plugins! 👏 👏
