hello all,
Screen has a very useful ability that would be great to have in tmux -
namely the ability to use the contents of a buffer in a forward or
backwards search.
Assuming screen keybindings:
C-a Esc ? (to enter search mode)
... search up and select certain amount of text using v and y
C-a Esc ? (to enter search mode)
C-a ] (pastes text from buffer into the search menu)
<return> (searches for that text string)
n gets next instance of that text string
This is one of my favorite features in screen - and use it constantly.
As it stands, the only workaround I can see is to use the mouse to
copy and text from the tmux window, and then paste that text into the
tmux window, which of course slows down workflow tremendously. And,
even this workaround doesn't work so well when the panes are split
vertically and laying side by side.
So, hopefully, this is an easy thing to implement because there is no
good workaround here and I'm already missing having it quite a bit.
I've opened up a feature request on the tmux feature page, so it can
be tracked there.
Pointing out other workarounds I'm missing is greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks much,
Ed
