tmux-fpp

If you don't want to write a giant regex like this yourself, there are some ready-made tmux plugins that add things like this to copy-mode. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-fpp https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-copycat https://github.com/Morantron/tmux-fingers https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-urlview Any configuration or plugin that leans on the built-ins is probably going to be faster, so consider that w/r/t tmux-copycat. I also really like tmux-resurrect, which saves and restores sessions for you; tmux-continuum, which runs those automatically; and the tmux-zen plugin for Oh-My-Fish: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum https://github.com/sagebind/tmux-zen/tree/master It's pretty easy to get a very nice tmux setup going!
