Feature request: reusing output without mouse
Hello, I've created a project called "Ztrace", which allows to catch output of commands and reuse parts of that output in new commands. A video shows how the project works (hint: you can resize with Ctrl-+ or Cmd-+): https://asciinema.org/a/45530
When I created the poject and saw new features of iTerm2 v3 I realized that this could be implemented at terminal level. It would work like this:
- pressing e.g. Ctrl-Space will bring up selection and completion interface
- in that interface user would be allowed to enter part of string, and it would be matched against what's in his session
- not sure what the match could do, but maybe: select line which matches entered string
- in the line, user would use cursor keys to select Bits of Text, like in the asciinema video
- he would then be able to use the bits of text to build his command line – without using mouse
Best regards, psprint
