+# Tmux Run External Commands In Copy Mode
+emulate right click **"search google for {text}"** like you do in GUI web browsers. We can do other custom commands also like search highlighted text in wikipedia, translate, text to speech and many others. Think of other stuff to use it with like **mps-youtube, youtube-viewer, torrents ...etc.** Share with me if you got some good ones =)
