Add a menu for pasting words from tmux about tmux-fzf HOT 6 CLOSED

Isn't the clipboard doing this?

from tmux-fzf.

Clipboard shows things that were already copied (probably using the mouse).
What I'm suggesting is a menu that will show all words that appear on tmux (with tmux capture-pane like in the blog post) and allows selecting one of these.
This way I can run docker ps and insert the ID of one of the container to a docker rm command without the need to copy it to the clipboard before.

So we can pipe the content of $(tmux capture-pane -ep -t <target>) to tmux-fzf and filter it, then what should we do with the filtered output?

The existing actions will execute certain commands with the output, for example we can kill a session via tmux kill-session command with the filtered output (the output is a target session).

But in your case, it looks like you'd like to execute a custom command such as docker rm.

IMO it might be better to write your own script to do this.

I think that just pasting the output to tmux will be generic enough, this way I can type docker rm and then complete the ID

1. Your request can be done via a zsh completion func, my collection can exactly do this: https://github.com/sainnhe/zsh-completions
2. The filtered output will be an entire line, are you sure this is suitable to directly paste it to a pane?

Sorry but I still didn't get the point why we need this.

I'll try implementing it in a PR. Perhaps it will make more sense then
