When you work in tmux you often copy and paste text from the current buffer. With extrakto you can fuzzy find your text instead of selecting it by hand.

• press prefix + e to extract url and path tokens to be copied to the clipboard
• press prefix + tab to extract words and insert them to the current pane

Requires Python 2/3 and fzf. Supports Linux (xclip) and macOS (pbcopy) clipboards.

Add the plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'laktak/extrakto'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.

You should now have all extrakto key bindings defined.

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/laktak/extrakto ~/clone/path

Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/extrakto.tmux

Reload the tmux environment:

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

You should now have all extrakto key bindings defined.

You can use the tool without tmux to extrakt tokens from text.

For now simply clone the repository and link to the tool somewhere in your path:

git clone https://github.com/laktak/extrakto
cd extrakto
# assuming you `export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin` in your `.bashrc`:
ln -s $PWD/extrakto.py ~/.local/bin/extrakto

Requires Python 2/3.

usage: extrakto.py [-h] [-p] [-u] [-w] [-r] [-m MIN_LENGTH]

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -u                    extract url tokens
  -w                    extract word tokens
  -r                    reverse output
  -m MIN_LENGTH, --min-length MIN_LENGTH
                        minimum token length
