+1 for this - I've been pondering the exact same thing.

For those that use iTerm2 on the Mac, I'm thinking similar to the
cmd-; functionality, but using the entire tmux scrollback buffer.


Not entirely sure how this would be implemented. I suspect that it
couldn't be done in-place like vim does, but would need some sort of
pop-up menu with the candidate completions.

Once the menu is active, the user can select a completion (or cancel),
at which point the chosen completion gets pasted in via the paste-buffer
mechanism.


Is this functionality already available, or in some future pipeline?
If not, does this approach sound worthwhile?


I'd be happy to take a look at implementing this.
