Demo

Dependencies

One of the following is required.

• urlview - brew install urlview on OS X.
• extract_url - brew install extract_url on OS X.

Key bindings

In any tmux mode:

• u - listing all urls on bottom pane

Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-urlview'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. You should now be able to use the plugin.

Manual Installation

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-urlview ~/clone/path

Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/urlview.tmux

Reload TMUX environment:

# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

You should now be able to use the plugin.

Configuration

How can I change the default "u" key binding to something else? For example, key "x"?

Put set -g @urlview-key 'x' in tmux.conf.

Other goodies

tmux-urlview works great with:

• tmux-fpp - a plugin for opening any files on your terminal window
