Is it possible to get the 'f' and 'F' cursor movement keys in
copy/scrollback mode? I've been glancing through the source for all of
15 minutes, and it doesn't appear to be a trivial thing to add. Can
anyone familiar with the code gauge the difficulty of adding that
functionality? I'd hate to have my first dive into the source be overly
frustrating.
bindkey -m f ^F
bindkey -m F ^F
the fFtT family of cursor movement are not for scrolling.
They are standard in readline, and provide really useful
fine grained control over cursor movement. For some reason,
they are not well-known.
They work as follows: if the cursor is on the 'X' in the string
'abcdefgabcdefgXabcdefgabcdefg' then:
fb : moves the cursor to the 3rd 'b' (forward to first 'b')
2fb : moves the cursor to the 4th 'b' (forward to 2nd 'b')
Fb : moves the cursor to the 2nd 'b' (backward to 1st 'b')
1Fb: moves the cursor to the 1st 'b' (backward to 2nd 'b')
tb: moves to the 3rd 'a' (forward to first char before 'b')
Tb: moves to the 2nd 'c' (backward to first char before 'b')
