termsand

this is VERY rough and hacked together in a couple hours

it may not work exactly right for you

how do i use it

this thing is designed to work with tmux 3.4+

1. cargo install --git https://github.com/cgsdev0/termsand
2. save this bash script to somewhere (e.g. sand.sh):

#!/bin/bash

ARGS="$@"

popup() {
  TMP="$(mktemp)"
  trap "rm $TMP" EXIT
  cat > "$TMP"
  tmux display-popup -w $WIDTH -h $HEIGHT $* "cat \"$TMP\" | termsand $ARGS"
}

PANE=$(tmux display -p "#{pane_id}")
DIMENSIONS="$(tmux display -p "#{pane_width}x#{pane_height}")"
POSITION="$(tmux display -p "#{pane_left}x#{pane_top}")"
HEIGHT="${DIMENSIONS#*x}"
WIDTH="${DIMENSIONS%x*}"
Y="${POSITION#*x}"
((Y+=HEIGHT+1))
X="${POSITION%x*}"
STUFF="$(tmux capture-pane -p -e -t "$PANE")"
echo -e "$STUFF" \
  | popup -E -B -y$Y -x$X -w $WIDTH -h $HEIGHT

3. bind it to a key in your tmux.conf like this:

bind-key e run-shell "./sand.sh"

and then maybe it will work

good luck have fun
