## What it is
A Tmux plugin that adds logging and screen-capture key bindings for capturing pane output to files. It supports live pane logging, textual screenshots, full scrollback history saving, and clearing pane history.

## Use cases
- log all output in a tmux pane to a file
- take a textual screenshot of the current tmux pane
- save complete scrollback history of a tmux pane
- clear tmux pane history with a key binding
- keep a record of terminal work sessions

## When to choose
- you work in tmux and want automatic session logging
- you need to capture terminal output for later review or sharing
- you want retroactive saving of pane scrollback

## When to avoid
- you don't use tmux
- you need graphical screenshots rather than text captures
- you need centralized log aggregation rather than local files
