flash.nvim, but for tmux…sort of
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…

What it does
A tmux plugin that copies words from your pane buffer using flash.nvim style labels. - Kristijan/flash-copy.tmux
A tmux plugin inspired by flash.nvim that enables you to search visible words in the current tmux pane, then copy that word, or a ranged selection, to the system clipboard by pressing the associated label key. You can auto-paste your selected match by using the ; (semicolon) modifier key. See the Auto-paste text section for more details. Range mode can copy multiple lines of text, above or below the first marker.

Dwm.tmux – a dwm-inspired window manager for tmuxJan 2026 · github.com · ▲101Hey, 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.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
