A tmux plugin that enhances in-terminal search with regex support, match highlighting, and predefined searches for files, URLs, git hashes, numbers, and IP addresses. It enables a keyboard-driven 'copycat mode' for jumping between and copying matches, pairing well with tmux-yank.

Use cases

  • regex search inside tmux panes
  • jump to URLs in terminal output without the mouse
  • navigate files listed in git status from tmux
  • copy SHA hashes from git log output
  • highlight and copy IP addresses or numbers in terminal
  • reduce mouse usage in terminal workflows

When to choose

  • you live in tmux and want fast keyboard-driven search and copy
  • you need predefined searches for files, URLs, hashes, or IPs
  • you're on tmux older than 3.1 and want regex search

When to avoid

  • you're on tmux 3.1+ and only need regex search (native support exists)
  • you don't use tmux
  • you need a GUI search tool
