Limitations

  • This plugin tries hard to consistently enable "marketed" features. It uses some hacks to go beyond the APIs Tmux provides. Because of this, it might have some "rough edges" and there's nothing that can be done.

    Examples: non-perfect file and url matching and selection. That said, usage should be fine in +90% cases.

  • feel free to report search cases you think should work, but are not (provide examples pls!). I'm open to the idea of adding more saved searches.

  • Tmux vi copy mode works faster than emacs. If you don't have a preference yet and to speed up tmux_copycat, I recommend putting this in .tmux.conf to set Tmux copy mode to vi:

    set -g mode-keys vi
    
  • remapping Escape key in copy mode will break the plugin. If you have this in your .tmux.conf, please consider removing it:

    bind -t vi-copy Escape cancel
    

    After removing this key binding, don't forget to restart tmux server!
