Defining new stored searches

To speed up the workflow you can define new bindings in .tmux.conf for searches you use often.

After adding any of the below snippets, make sure to reload your tmux configuration:

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

Dummy examples:

• prefix + ctrl-t searches for "search me" string

    set -g @copycat_search_C-t 'search me'
  

• prefix + alt-t searches for defined regex

    set -g @copycat_search_M-t 'regex search[[:alnum:]]\*'
  

Useful searches:

• prefix + ctrl-e in the Rails log output searches for previous request start

    set -g @copycat_search_C-e '^Processing[[:space:]]by[[:space:]][^[:space:]]*'
  

• prefix + D searches for numbers at the beginning of line. Useful with $ pgrep -lf process command to quickly select process PID.

    set -g @copycat_search_D '^[[:digit:]]+'
