And the crickets chirp... It's not even possible to fake this via scripts or commands, since there is no programmatic access to the screen contents. Copy mode allow us to manually grab screen content into a buffer, however there is no command to grab some area of the screen or scrollback back buffer, and store it to a buffer or a file.
It would be useful to be able to automatically grab screen contents, such as by screen coordinates. It would also be useful to be able to specify a range around the current cursor location. -FR.
