tmux copy mode search highlight

I found this information about tmux search highlighting :

According to the developer1, this isn't currently possible in tmux. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27427973

Source:How do I highlight a search result in tmux?


This feature appears to have been added in tmux version 2.4 and later.

Looking through tmux's release notes:

    CHANGES FROM 2.3 TO 2.4, 20 April 2017
     * All occurrences of a search string in copy mode are now highlighted;
       additionally, the number of search results is displayed. The highlighting
       updates interactively with the default emacs key bindings (incremental
       search).

try this plugin tmux-copycat

  • support highlight search
  • Prefix + / quick enter search mode
  • auto clean search mode (in F7 search, next time search will keep last statement)
