Usage
- Type to search (ASCII case-insensitive).
- Labels are lowercase; press a label to select.
- Lowercase: copy + paste.
- Uppercase: copy only.
- Tab: paste current match
- Enter: paste and send Enter.
- Space: paste and send Space.
Matching behavior
- Only the visible pane content can be matched.
- Matches are whitespace-delimited tokens.
- Substring matches within a token are allowed.
- If a token is wrapped by
(),[],{}, quotes, or backticks, and the match is inside those wrappers, the outer wrapper is stripped before copying/pasting.- Example:
(/home/user/project)→/home/user/project
