Tmux completion with text from all visible panes

Tmux asos

Bash-complete current word with blank-delimited strings from all visible panes.

In the screenshot above, the word bell-style has been completed thanks to the occurrence from the man page in the top pane.

Key bindings

• prefix + C-a : insert completion (longest matching part if more than one)

Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'fcpg/tmux-asos'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. You should now be able to use the plugin.

Manual Installation

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/fcpg/tmux-asos ~/clone/path

Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/asos.tmux

Reload TMUX environment:

# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

You should now be able to use the plugin.

Configuration

Change the default key eg. 'x':

• Put set -g @asos-key 'x' in .tmux.conf.

Trigger completion without the tmux prefix key:

• Put set -g @asos-key-noprefix 1 in .tmux.conf.

Change the temporary directory:

• Define "$ASOS_TMPDIR" in .bash_profile or .bashrc

Set the minimum length (default: 8) for a word to be included in completion list eg. 4:

• Put set -g @asos-minlen 4 in .tmux.conf.

Todo

• Support for other shells (pull requests are welcome)
• Show list when more than one match?
