Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/16929

State: closed
Merged: No

Summary of the Pull Request

WezTerm has a Quick Select feature that allows you to specify a regex to find patterns within the buffer and quickly copy or navigate to the matches using alphabet hints.
https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/quickselect.html

I added a implementation of this to my personal build and find that I use it for almost every copy/navigation operation.

  • For my configs I defined 2 regexs, 1 for words and one for lines which seems to cover everything that I would want to do but it is nice to have the flexibility to define specific ones for stuff like hashes and addresses

In its current state I don't think that it makes sense to merge this. But if you do decide to add something like this, I would love to work on it.
