## What it is
A tmux plugin that lets you fuzzy find and extract text already visible on screen, then insert it into the current pane or copy it to the clipboard, all without a mouse. It works with fzf or skim and supports completions even in remote SSH sessions.

## Use cases
- copy a URL from terminal output without a mouse
- complete a file path that is already on screen
- insert a git hash or docker container name into a command
- fuzzy find text from tmux scrollback
- grab an option from a man page into the command line
- copy text from a remote ssh session to local clipboard

## When to choose
- you live in tmux and want mouse-free text extraction and completion
- you frequently retype paths, URLs, or hashes already visible in the terminal
- you want clipboard integration across Xorg, Wayland, macOS, and WSL

## When to avoid
- you do not use tmux
- you need a GUI clipboard manager
- you cannot install fzf/skim or Python 3.6+
