Super Guide to the split-window tmux Subcommand (and Beyond)

Super Guide to the split-window tmux Subcommand (and Beyond)

Guide overview

tmux, like other great software, is deceptive. On the one hand, it's fairly easy to get set up and start using right away. On the other hand, it's difficult to take advantage of tmux's adanced features without spending some quality alone time with the manual. But the problem with manuals is that they aren't geared toward beginners. They are geared toward helping seasoned developers and computer enthusiasts quickly obtain the

Yeah, yeah. Welcome to the Making Sense podcast. This is Sam Harris. Okay, well today's podcast is
yet another PSA There have been many of them of late needless to say if you want to support what I'm
doing here, the way to do that is to subscribe to the podcast at SAm Harris dot org. It's really the
subscribers that make all of this possible. But given the kinds of topics I touch here, it's with
some regularity that I feel the need to put out a podcast in a form where the most people will hear
every word of it. And today, the topic that could not suffer a paywall is what is now universally
described as vaccine. Hesitancy and the general condition of misinformation and disinformation that
surrounds vaccines in general. But the Covid MRNA vaccines in particular, I think anyone who has
listened to the podcast in the last year or so, we'll have no doubt about where I stand on the topic

Tabbing through google search results in Safari
For whatever very bad reason (likely related squeezing to every drop of ad revenue from their product), Google does not allow you to easily tab throug search results. When logged in to Google, you have to hit tab 17 times just to get to the first result, which is ridiculous. It can take anywhere from a few to dozens of more taps to get to the next result. This is painful.
I took a quick look for an extension on Safari but came up empty. So here is a quick AppleScript I quickly knocked out (well, OK, it took several hours because I'm not proficient with AppleScript and it's agonizing to debug) to make tabbing a lot more useful on Google:
#!/usr/bin/osascript
on run argv
set op to argv
global isTag
