tmux-copy-output

tmux-copy-output is a tmux plugin for copying command's outputs inside a pane.

Dependencies

• Launcher: Make sure you have a launcher or finder to be able to select:
  • fzf [Recommended]
  • dmenu
• xclip

Install

Via TPM (Recommend)

Add this line to your tmux config file, then hit prefix + I:

set -g @plugin 'jhonrocha/tmux-copy-output'

Manually

Clone this repo somewhere and source tmux-copy-output.tmux at the config file.

Usage

The default key-binding is g(of course prefix hit is needed), it can be modified by setting value to @tco-key at tmux config file. There is also an option to set which launcher to use. By default it is fzf-tmux, you can use dmenu or any custom command.

The default copy to clipboard command is xclip for Linux systems. It's possible to override the command with @tco-copy.

There is also a quick key to copy the last command executed on the pane, being G by default. It is possible to override it with @tco-quick-key.

set -g @tco-key 'k'
set -g @tco-launcher 'dmenu -c -l 30 -bw 2'
set -g @tco-copy 'pbcopy'
set -g @tco-quick-key 'K'
