    NOTE: originally disccussed in https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/iterm2-discuss/Lz7mx06Bxg8

    in preferences>advanced>semantic history > click on a filename referring to an existing file performs an action:

    This feature is very useful, allowing me to click on files in a stacktrace (for example), and parse some custom format indicating file/line, and open in a custom editor.

    Currently it provides:
    \1 filename
    \2 line number
    \3 text before click
    \4 text after click
    \5 pwd

    I made a custom command that parses \3 and \4 to get current directory and clicked file/line to work when the default one doesn't. It works by using a regex that finds the prompt command, that contains current directory.

    However, somehow \3 is truncated, containing only a few lines (~5), so that fails when the previous prompt command is too far above. Can we either increase the text before click or set its length to the entire buffer ?
