might switch from alacritty to kitty almost just for this (although I've been meaning to for a while). the "immediately get scroll back into an nvim buffer to edit as a command" is pretty sweet

What's a kitty scrollback buffer?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see. Kitty is a terminal.

Yep you got it. Kitty is a terminal. The scrollback buffer is the screen + history of the terminal session. This plugin lets you open it with Neovim plus some extras ๐Ÿ‘
