Hello,
first, thank you for alacritty, which is awesome. Having migrated from termite, there's just one killer feature that I'm missing: scrollback completion.
An example, one might want to type a long word resulting from a previous command:
$ grep long /usr/share/dict/american-english
[...]
longitudinally
[...]
instead of doing: searching, select, copy, paste, one could hit the "complete from scrollback" key, start typing and select the desired word with either a list or a hint.
The following recording shows how termite implements it.
I'd be happy to start PoC'ing an implementation, but I'd be very glad to have an opinion on which design is preferable and a (maybe) rough idea of the code arch.
