Allow Search functionality to easily expand found text, and insert the expanded found text at current cursor location

as an example take a look at this Kubernetes example:

╭─root@nonprod /home/nonprod
╰─# k get po -n dev | grep notifications
oom-ent-notifications-1-0-775c6fb9dc-n476x                1/1     Running   3          71d
╭─root@nonprod /home/nonprod
╰─#

The system listed a container name - a complex generated name. I need the full container name to delete the container, for instance, what I want is to execute the following

k delete po -n dev oom-ent-notifications-1-0-775c6fb9dc-n476x

Now the problem is -- how do I get the long name in? The mac iterm2 solves this by allowing a search

  1. User hits ctrl+f (or ctrl+shift+f)
  2. User types in oom-ent
  3. System matches oom-ent (below the line ending in grep notifications)
  4. User presses Tab
  5. System highlights oom-ent-notifications-1-0-775c6fb9dc-n476x AND copies it to clipboard
  6. User types k delete po -n dev [Ctrl+V]
  7. System displays k delete po -n dev oom-ent-notifications-1-0-775c6fb9dc-n476x
  8. User hits enter to execute the command.
    Shift-Tab should work to select up to the beginning of the word. Shift-Tab followed by Tab should select the whole word if letters in the middle of the word are matched.

Allowing this functionality is super-useful.
