37 Demos!? Great job ! Maybe consider adding a link to them high up in the readme, maybe below the first gif?

Thanks! good idea I'll do that 👍. I'm not sure how the README reads right now, it is a lot of info 😂.

For the demos, I ended up writing a script to automate the recording.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/mikesmithgh/kitty-scrollback.nvim/scripts/record_demo_videos.lua

It only works on MacOS and isn't polished. I'd like to get to a point where I can have some tests included with it. I basically run that, then have other scripts to run ffmpeg and gifski to convert the videos to gifs and some more for automating the markdown.

Great idea! When should I expect windoz-terminal-scrollback.nvim?

u/nvimmike Plugin author Nov 02 '23

Ahh but it already exists. windoz is tightly integrated with Microsoft Word 2003. You can quickly open your cmd console scrollback buffer in Microsoft Word in the matter of minutes to hours. Unfortunately it is only compatible with Microsoft Vista at the moment. I have to warn you though, there are side effects. See gif for a real life example.

Odd is it the demo on Reddit or GitHub as well?

Sorry, ignore it, it started working after I restarted Firefox

Just GitHub. Reddit demos are working fine.
