Aloha HN - I&#x27;m redbeard, ex-CoreOS homey, RISC-V guy, and general free software wingnut.Like many of us, I&#x27;ve increasingly found myself using AI for my work. One of the challenges for me is that I prefer to stay on the command line and I&#x27;m often working on remote machines over SSH. This often means moving off of the keyboard to use the mouse or a complex chording of characters to capture output from the buffer. Capturing a single file isn&#x27;t too challenging on a localhost (`cat | wl-copy` &#x2F;`cat | pbcopy`, etc) but this is still really focused on single files. If you&#x27;re capturing multiple files, the content (of course) gets catenated together.&quot;There&#x27;s got to be a better way!&quot;After realizing the many terminals support ANSI control code OSC 52 and my preferred terminal, Kitty, supports OSC 5522 I put together &quot;rucat&quot;, a cat inspired tool for capturing multiple files with additional semantic data.Rucat excels at capturing multiple files quickly and without worrying about serialization loss. It&#x27;s been written in Rust to intentionally avoid a number of memory safety and string parsing issues as well as providing a path to cross platform support. The tool is currently available in binary and source form in the repository. Feedback is welcomed!
