Show HN: flash.nvim, but for tmux…sort of

[KristijanM13]

Most neovim users will be familiar with flash.nvim, which amongst other things, allows you to quickly jump to a word in your visible buffer. It’s a great tool for developers who want to quickly navigate their codebase.

I was looking for something similar, but for tmux. I wanted to be able to search visible words in the current tmux pane, then copy that word to the system clipboard by pressing the associated label key.

I built https://github.com/Kristijan/flash-copy.tmux, with the aim to bring that functionality to tmux.

Here’s a bit of a write up https://blog.kristijan.org/posts/TMUX-Flash-Copy for those interested. I welcome any feedback.
