Is there documentation for the various smart selection actions? The Smart Selection documentation doesn't seem to list them or what they do. And not all of them match the Trigger actions.

My main question is what Run command in Window do? I'm guessing it might run it in the current terminal window by inserting text into the terminal. If so, how is it different than Send Text?

Thanks!

I’ll update the docs on the next website push. Here’s what it’ll say:

 * Open File: Opens the file using the default system application.
 * Open URL: Opens the URL using the default system browser.
 * Run Command: Runs the command using `/bin/sh -c` in the background. Output goes to the Script Console.
 * Run Coprocess: Starts a [coprocess](documentation-coprocesses.html).
 * Send Text: Sends text as though it was typed by the user.
 * Run Command in Window: Opens a new window and runs the command in it.
 * Copy: Copies the string to the pasteboard.

Cool, thanks!

For Run Command in Window, is it possible for that to be a tmux window? And even better, a hidden tmux window?

Really what I am looking for is a "Run Command on Server" option. Perhaps that could eventually be added on top of the ssh side channel being introduced by the new 3.5 SSH integration feature?
