## What it is
A tmux plugin that provides vimium/vimperator-style keyboard hints for copy-pasting text in the terminal. It highlights patterns like file paths, SHAs, URLs, IP addresses, and UUIDs in the current pane, letting users copy them with a few keystrokes.

## Use cases
- copy file paths from terminal output without using the mouse
- quickly copy git SHAs or hex numbers shown in a tmux pane
- extract IP addresses or UUIDs from logs with keyboard hints
- open highlighted links in the browser from the terminal
- select and copy multiple matches at once in tmux
- paste copied matches directly back into the terminal

## When to choose
- you live inside tmux and want mouse-free copy-paste
- you frequently copy paths, SHAs, URLs, or IDs from terminal output
- you like vimium-style hint-based navigation and want it in the terminal

## When to avoid
- you don't use tmux
- you need a general clipboard manager outside the terminal
- you're on Windows without a tmux-compatible environment
