Could you build this?
Partial Building a native macOS menu bar HUD that captures screenshots is easy, but reliably introspecting terminal session state across tmux, iTerm2, and Ghostty requires specific OS-level IPC and terminal hooks.
What it would actually take: The app requires Swift/AppKit with Global Event Monitors and Accessibility APIs to capture shortcuts and window focus. The core challenge is querying active process trees and session IDs across distinct terminal emulators (using AppleScript for iTerm2, socket commands for tmux, and proprietary IPC or Apple Accessibility trees for Ghostty) to pipe clipboard or file path data directly into the active prompt without corrupting user input.
