hyper-k

What is Hyper-K?

Hyper-K is a plugin for the Hyper terminal that is made from lightly toasted rice, wheat, and barley.

Oh sorry, that's Special K. Hyper-K is an experimental plugin that makes your regular terminal much easier to use in a few ways:

  • A gentle and clear dark color theme based on Root Loops.

  • Click-to-paste on code-like text that appears in the terminal:

    • For Markdown code snippets: If `ls -l` (code in backticks) appears in the terminal, you can click on it and it will type that command on the command line.

    • For common filename patterns: Click-to-psate on text like some-folder/some-file.txt (for common file extensions).

    • For fenced code blocks: For lines of text within Markdown fenced blocks (like blocks beginning ```shell), each line in a script can be pasted one by one more easily.

  • Clickable URLs (Hyper has similar behavior by default).

  • Auto-view popover of image URLs that appear in the terminal window. Image appears in upper right. Hit escape or backspace to close image popover. This is kind of a proof of concept but may be expanded to make it easy to display images of all kinds in the terminal.

My use case for the click-to-paste features is an LLM-based interactive help script that offers suggestions on what commands to type. It makes it easy to click the suggested outputs.

These seem like small features but make for a significantly better interactive and mouse-friendly command-line experience.

Installation

Under development. But works fine as a locally installed plugin.

First, install Hyper.

Then:

cd hyper-k
mkdir -p ~/.hyper_plugins/local
ln -s `pwd` ~/.hyper_plugins/local
# Now add "hyper-k" to "localPlugins" in ~/.hyper.js and restart Hyper.
