+# Tmux Capture Last Command Output
+
+Capture the output of the last terminal command and open it an editor in a separate tmux window. 
+
+## Installation
+
+### Using [TPM](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm):
+
+    set -g @plugin 'artemave/tmux_capture_last_command_output'
+
+Hit <kbd>prefix</kbd> + <kbd>I</kbd> to fetch and source the plugin.
+
+### Manual
+
+Clone the repo:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/artemave/tmux_capture_last_command_output.git ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux_capture_last_command_output
+
+Source it in your `.tmux.conf`:
+
+    run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux_capture_last_command_output/tmux_capture_last_command_output.tmux
+
+Reload TMUX conf by running:
+
+    tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
+
+## Configuration
+
+#### @command-capture-key
+
+Required. Set Prefix + key to trigger the plugin. For example, `prefix+t`:
+
+```
+set -g @command-capture-key t
+```
+
+#### @command-capture-prompt-pattern
+
+Required. A regexp to identify command separator. Usually a prompt. E.g., if set to '] % ', the plugin will capture the latest output up until the first line that contains '] % ':
+
+```
+set -g @command-capture-prompt-pattern '] % '
+```
+
+#### @command-capture-editor-cmd
+
+Optional. An editor to use for the captured output. Defaults to `$EDITOR -`, which works with vim/nvim. Example:
+
+```
+set -g @command-capture-editor-cmd 'nvim -'
+```
