@benvargas/pi-cut-stack

Cut-stack editor shortcuts for pi.

• cut takes the entire current editor content, pushes it onto a stack, and clears the editor.
• pop pops the latest entry from the stack and appends it to the current editor content.
• The stack is in-memory only (cleared on restart).

Install

pi install npm:@benvargas/pi-cut-stack

Or try without installing:

pi -e npm:@benvargas/pi-cut-stack

Default Keybindings

• Cut: alt+x
• Pop: alt+p

Configuration

keybindings.json is optional. Only add it if you want to override the defaults.

Add entries to ~/.pi/agent/keybindings.json:

{
  "ext.pi-cut-stack.cut": "alt+x",
  "ext.pi-cut-stack.pop": "alt+p"
}

Each key can be a single string or an array of strings. If the file is missing or invalid, defaults are used.

Notes

• Pop with an empty stack displays a Cut stack is empty status notification.
• If the editor is empty, cut is a no-op.

Ghostty (macOS) Tip

macOS terminal apps do not receive cmd shortcuts directly. If you want cmd+x / cmd+p to behave like alt+x / alt+p, map them in Ghostty:

keybind = cmd+x=esc:x
keybind = cmd+p=esc:p

This sends esc+x / esc+p. Because pi uses Kitty keyboard protocol outside of tmux, these mappings only behave like alt+x / alt+p inside tmux. Outside tmux, use the actual Option/Alt keys (ensure Ghostty is configured to treat Option as Alt/Meta).

Uninstall

pi remove npm:@benvargas/pi-cut-stack
