> defined f1 to toggle between semi-char vs copy modes this is useful anyway but just in case you didn't know, we automatically switch to copy-mode when it makes sense. E.g. when you activate mark, click somewhere with the mouse or

True. I'll have to update the documentation with some examples (and/or make a video?). I know you know them but I list the 5 modes quick here for readers: - semi-char: The default, where most keys go to the terminal but some commo

This is just optional. I explained why it's not in the package in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48881722 For all Emacs package updates, it's best of course to check the source what's changed and then y

You have the full power of Emacs to your disposal. I have never used WezTerm but from a quick look, it seems you can quickly copy text ace-jump style. In Emacs you could use e.g. avy to do the same, but there is probably a bunch of other si

Just want to add that we have the same feature in Ghostel. As it copies stuff to a remote host, automatic ssh injection is disabled by default but you can enable it by setting `ghostel-tramp-shell-integration` to true. For manual setup you

Noted. I didn't even think of the use-case that then you can edit output from finished commands in the scrollback. But it makes sense and is another +1 for that feature request.

And not only mouse click of course, but you can use `ghostel-previous-hyperlink` (or ghostel-next-hyperlink) to quickly jump to the last hyperlink displayed. It also installs a repeat-mode map, so if you see 3 url or file links as output yo

Ah. I tested it before but now I see that I have `(setq eshell-scroll-to-bottom-on-input 'all)` in my config which always snapped point back to the prompt when I tried to edit the scrollback. Anyway, unfortunately that is not possible

Did you see ghostel line-mode? This basically gives you a `M-x shell` experience where everything is a buffer and nothing is send to the terminal until you press enter. There you could type on the prompt line and then call jinx or your quot

I agree. And I would also prefer if the link went to https://github.com/dakra/ghostel instead of the documentation which is not that helpful if you don't know what the project is.

That's because MELPA (and ELPA) doesn't have a way to attach platform specific files. It's all just git checkouts. That means we would have to check in the module binary for all platforms (>10MB together) if we want that i

Hi! Maintainer of Ghostel here. baokaola and I actually wanted to do a "Show HN" next week, but looks like someone was faster submitting the link. Have a look at the GitHub repo which is a bit nicer for a quick overview: https:&#

If you live in Emacs and interacting with it every day there is always something to tweak and it just grows organically. I don't think a big config file is an outlier. Not because it's necessary but simply because it's so muc

Another good open source terminal sharing service is https://tmate.io/ This gives you 2 ssh addresses (read only and read write) that you can send out.
