output from popup ?

[M Kelly]

Hi,

Hope everyone is ok/safe out there ...

Does anyone know of a way to get the output result from something in a popup ?
I was thinking of running fzf in a tmux popup - but need to capture the selected item ...

thx,

-m

Hi,

ok, I think I can redirect the command output to a file ...

tmux popup -K -E -R "fzf > fzf.selection.txt"

thx,

-m

Look at how this script does it - seems like it uses a fifo?

Although I'd probably use a temporary file myself.

Hi,

thx

I think it is to accept stdin input, so you can pipe to it ....

I found there is a fzf-tmux wrapper which is almost identical to this.

Adding a -p arg causes that to use a tmux popup instead of window.

take care,
