Products that do what flash.nvim, but for tmux…sort of does
Most neovim users will be familiar with flash.nvim, which amongst other things, allows you to quickly jump to a word in your visible buffer. It’s a great tool for developers who want to quickly navigate their codebase. I was looking for something similar, but for tmux. I wanted to be able to search visible words in the current tmux pane, then copy that word to the system clipboard by pressing the associated label key. I built https://github.com/Kristijan/flash-copy.tmux, with the aim to bring that functionality to tmux. Here’s a bit of a write up…

Hey, HN! With all recent agentic workflows being primarily terminal- and tmux-based, I wanted to share a little project I created about decade ago. I've continued to use this as my primary terminal "window manager" and wanted to share in case others might find it useful. I would love to hear about other's terminal-based workflows and any other tools you may use with similar functionality.

Ditch Burp Suite’s bloat for zxc, a Rust-built, terminal-based proxy that uses tmux and Vim to intercept HTTP/S and WebSocket traffic. It captures requests for debugging, security testing, or tweaking—fast and lean. # Key Features - Disk Wizardry: Stashes massive datasets on disk-100k+ entries without breaking a sweat. - Addons: Boost your workflow with default support for ffuf and sqlmap, or craft your own addons for extra fun. - Buffer Tweaks: Edit variables in a popup (e.g., b:host, b:scheme) in Interceptor/Repeater to twist requests. - Config Control: TOML files for global…

Hi HN! I built VAM Seek because I was frustrated with 1D seek bars – you never know where you're going until you get there. VAM Seek renders a 2D thumbnail grid next to your video. Click any cell to jump. All frame extraction happens client-side via canvas – no server processing, no pre-generated thumbnails. - 15KB, zero dependencies - One-line integration - Works with any element Live demo: https://haasiy.main.jp/vam_web/deploy/lolipop/index.html Would love feedback!

A couple of years ago, I written an intro to tmux (https://tmux.github.io/) inside tmuxp's (https://github.com/tony/tmuxp) documentation called The Tao of tmux (https://tmuxp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about_tmux.html). I'm in the process of turning it into a feature book. I am aiming for a December 23rd, 2016 release and am plugging away full time. I make it available to read on the web for free at https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read. The GitHub is at…

I wrote an nvim plugin that does fuzzy time parsing on plain english dates to help you create + organise periodic notes. I use it daily at work and home. Hope it's helpful to others. :) note: not using NLP, LLMs or 'true' fuzzy parsing as per academic literature; just normal recursive descent parsing

This is a small project i made years ago and updated to whisper last year, i still use it from time to time and thought it might be useful to others, or just put the idea out there for someone better than me to make a better implementation!

Here is a tool I built initially for myself to help with my German and Greek language studies. It started as a hack for creating Anki cards from native language audio. It extracts the words, finds their base forms (lemmas) and groups the examples by the lemma. At some point I realised that I have a transcription with word level timestamps that opens a lot of other opportunities. So I added a mode to click the first and last word in the transcript and it starts looping with the right gap and repeat count. Another feature I use a lot is selecting an audio fragment, sending a predefined prompt…

I've been developing this on and off for a few weeks. There are a few videos on the README page showing demos of the plugin. I just shipped an update today, which adds: - inline editing with forced tool use - better pinned context management - prompt caching for anthropic - port to node (from bun) Check it out!

I'm Varun from the Codeium team. After support for VSCode, Jetbrains, Jupyter, and Colab, we are super excited to bring free AI-powered code autocomplete to Vim and Neovim. And in the spirit of Show HN, we have a playground version for anyone to try the tech in the browser without any installation (https://www.codeium.com/playground)! We also made the vim client open source and are open to contributions.

I made this plugin because I felt like existing bookmark plugins were lacking some important features, including: - The ability to reorder your bookmarks - The ability to delete and move your bookmarks in bulk - The ability to view lines of code around your bookmarks - Syntax highlighting in the preview window - Resilience to the content of files changing (e.g. checking out a git commit that changes the file contents won't delete your bookmarks) Let me know what you think! If you have any feedback, please create a github issue or email [email protected]

This is a simple Pastebin clone I made using the Deno Typescript runtime. I created a simple templating system, and implemented server-side rendering for the UI. Demo: https://paste.jlcarveth.dev/

Nowadays I spend a lot of time in Claude Code and reviewing diffs and code in Vim. I didn't want to learn Vim's window management, so I created a Vim file browser that can run in its own tmux pane.

Hey HN, we built a pure-Lua Neovim plugin that brings Cursor-style next-edit predictions to Neovim, running entirely on local models. Tab to accept, Esc to reject. GitHub: https://github.com/BlinkResearchLabs/blink-edit.nvim We're Blink Research Labs (https://github.com/BlinkResearchLabs) - an open research collective building AI coding tools in the open. Our philosophy is simple: if it's not open, it's not research; if it's not fast, it's not usable. We think the best AI coding tools shouldn't be locked behind $20/month subscriptions or closed-source…

Switching back-and-forth a bit between Spacemacs and Neovim, I got inspired by https://github.com/ctjhoa/spacevim and thought to myself "Hey, that's a great idea!", and so I went into my first time actually toying with vim script (love-hate relationship atm). The result of the last couple of days so far is the ground work for a Neovim specific port of Spacemacs, located here https://github.com/Tehnix/spaceneovim. The major difference between that and the existing spacevim is that the layers are separated out from the core, and can be updated via an…
