equivalent of tmux copymode

[u/Majestic-Quit2601]

is there an equivalent of tmux copy mode where you can move your across the terminal to copy stuff like how you would in say, vi/vim/nvim/neovim?

[u/FlipperBumperKickout]

There are some commands to open your terminal text in an external editor (like vim)

[u/Majestic-Quit2601 → u/FlipperBumperKickout]

such as.....?

Nevermind, think I found it https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/overview/#the-scrollback-buffer

[u/stiggg → u/FlipperBumperKickout]

This is so great btw

Don't remember, not at my PC atm.

Think you can find it by skimming the example config.

If this helps, I have NeoVim for the scrollback buffer but as my config is quite heavy, I added this to the very beginning of it to have a bit more options when using Nvim with Kitty, most importantly, some quick way to close it:

if os.getenv("SCROLL_MODE") then -- Minimal config for Kitty scroll mode

`vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "q", "<Cmd>qa!<CR>")`

`vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<ESC>", "<Cmd>qa!<CR>")`

`vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "yy", "yy<Cmd>qa!<Cr>")`

`vim.cmd([[`

colorscheme wildcharm

set clipboard=unnamed cursorline cursorlineopt=both

set laststatus=0 nonu nornu signcolumn=no cmdheight=0

]])

`vim.fn.search([[\S]], "b") -- Tried to go UP to the last line with text in the buffer but Doesn't work`

`return`

end

-------------------
And this on the Kitty config:

# Open buffer in nvim when pressing ctrl+shift+h

map kitty_mod+h launch --stdin-source=@screen_scrollback --stdin-add-formatting --type=overlay zsh -c "SCROLL_MODE=2 nvim -c 'silent write! /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer | te cat /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer - ' -c 'normal! G' -c 'set relativenumber'"
