tmux-copycat

tmux-copycat copied to clipboard

Hi,

I have the plugin installed and when I hit prefix / I get a prompt saying copycat search: however if I try to search for anything I get some garbage on my terminal:

$ G0:3
3j3k45l 7lhG0:3: command not found
$ 3j3k45l 7lh

Am I missing anything in my configuration?

Do you have tmux-prefix-highlight installed? I had the same problem(using ctrl-u and only if there was a URL to be found) you had, uninstalled the plugin, restarted tmux and it started to work again.

Hi,

No, I don't have that plugin installed, what I have is:

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-yank'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-copycat'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-open'

Thanks, Luis

I was a bit hasty there. Seems like I changed my config and plugins at the same time while investigating. Now I seem to have identified the problem, this line in my tmux.conf:

bind-key -t vi-copy Escape copy-selection

caused the issue. Once commented out, I have no problem anymore, even after reinstalling my other plugins. A tmux restart is necessary before it starts to work again. No idea why this line is a problem though...

Getting this issue too :/

@fent @luisdavim tmux-copycat makes use of awk. Do you guys have it installed?

Yup, I'm on osx which comes with awk
