How I use my terminal

i see a bunch of people saying things like "you can do this in vim or emacs". it's true, you can do fuzzy finding and panes/tabs in an editor. but then you are in a box. anything that involves interacting with the terminal requires either a dedicated plugin or opening another nested terminal emulator (e.g. `:terminal` in vim). one of the things i get from my setup that's not mentioned in this post is that i can hit `git show HEAD` <highlight files and choose one> <tab> and that will put the file name in the command. this works for arbitrary commands, not just git, because it works by doing meta-processing on the terminal.
