A fast way to jump wherever you want in your terminal without using the mouse. A plugin similar to vimium and easymotion but for tmux. tmux-jump is written in ruby and can easily be installed via tpm.
From now to then I think about how to improve my dev tools. Copy and pasting inside the terminal is something I do everyday, all the time. This is one of the most obvious things make more efficient. tmux-yank improved the situation a lot. Though, it felt still annoying to get to the string I wanted to copy. Either I used to enter tmux copy mode and moved the cursor to the string or I used the mouse. I looked for a plugin such as easymotion for vim or ace jump for emacs, but I couldn't find one. So I decided to write my own tmux plugin.
tmux-prefix + j and enter the first character of a word.
The screen will rerender and highlight the keys to press to jump to the word.
Type the key sequence of the word to jump to.
The cursor moves to the word.
tmux-jump can also be used in in any program and during copy mode.
You can customize the key binding in your .tmux.conf:
set -g @jump-key 's'
You can also customize foreground and background color:
set -g @jump-bg-color '\e[0m\e[90m'
set -g @jump-fg-color '\e[1m\e[31m'
And the keys position:
# keys will overlap with the word (default)
set -g @jump-keys-position 'left'
# keys will be at the left of the word without overlap
set -g @jump-keys-position 'off_left'
