Brent Simmons<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Magic I just learned: in Terminal, do a thing with output (like ls), then do cmd-shift-A.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This selects the output of the previous command.<\/p>\n\n

Jeff Nadeau<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Cmd-Ctrl-V. Pastes text fully escaped, including spaces.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Jordan Rose<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Cmd-Up is still my favorite new (El Cap) Terminal feature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This scrolls you back up to the previous command.<\/p>\n\n

Chris Page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In Terminal, adding Shift for these commands extends the selection, just like in an editor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Dave DeLong<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Don’t forget that two-finger scrolling now works w\/ less, man pages, etc…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Jeff Nadeau<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Yup and you can toggle mouse reporting with ⌘R. I do it a lot with tmux.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Chris Page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

You can also use the Fn modifier when clicking or dragging, to interact with the terminal view.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Justin Miller<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The basics of marking<\/a> in Terminal.app. Explains those gutter marks!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Anyone knows what’s Paste Selection?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jordan Rose<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Seems to be more “Insert Selection”. Takes what’s selected and puts it at the cursor w\/o changing clipboard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

an0<\/a>:<\/p>\n

So a selection-specific pasteboard in Terminal. Reminds me of selecting to copy during my linux days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The selection pasteboard is named “com.apple.Terminal.selection” and is public.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
