I just wondered.. are there any terminals*, plugins for terminals, or plugins for tmux, that will scan output and automatically send canned responses -- whilst still letting me interact normally the rest of the time?
And secondly -- are there any tools that will simply let me assign hotkeys or macros to be automatically typed upon being pressed?
That latter request seems simple, but I didn't get much joy when searching online for likely packages.
I can't speak for tmux, but for screen, I do things like the following in my .screenrc:
## Fancy regexp to grep out blank lines and comment lines bind ^g stuff '"^[[:space:]]*(#|$)"'
Which says "when I hit the screen escape key followed by ctrl+g, type "^[[:space:]]*(#|$)" (including quotes) into my current screen window.
Tmux may have an equivalent to this, assuming this is the sort of thing you're looking for.
Thanks - this totally covers one of the two things I was looking for. I can add to .tmux.conf: bind-key C-h send-keys -l "hello world!\n"
