tmux newline detector

This tpm plugin detects newline in tmux buffer (or clipboard if you use reattach-to-user-namespace on macOS or win32yank on WSL in Windows), and asks for you whether or not pasting it to terminal with kindness. Also, add peek key binding to show what is in tmux buffer.

What is kindess? If your buffer is only one sentence and includes newline, this plugin removes the newline! But nothing to do if several sentences buffered in tmux.

Requirements

Install

Add the following lines to your ~/.tmux.conf

set-option -g @plugin knakayama/tmux-newline-detector

then, press Prefix + I in tmux session.

Usage

Default peek key binding is Prefix + P. If you change this key binding, set the following line to your ~/.tmux.conf.

set-option -g @peek 'x' # or your favorite key binding

Default paste key binding is Prefix + ]. If you change this key binding, set the following line to your ~/.tmux.conf.

set-option -g @paste 'X' # or your favorite key binding

This will manage the plugin bindings for you, but if you need to do something more complex, like pass arguments, you'll need to do that yourself:

bind-key X run-shell "~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-newline-detector/scripts/paste.sh -p"
bind-key x choose-buffer "run-shell \"~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-newline-detector/scripts/paste.sh -b '%%'\""

Note that due to the way the scripts process their arguments, arguments with spaces in them are not likely to work.
