## What it is
tmux-thumbs is a fast tmux plugin written in Rust that highlights patterns like URLs, file paths, Git SHAs, and IP addresses in the visible pane with letter hints, letting users yank text into the tmux buffer with a single keypress. It is a Rust rewrite of tmux-fingers inspired by vimium/vimperator hinting.

## Use cases
- copy a URL from a tmux pane without using the mouse
- yank a git sha or file path from terminal output
- copy an IP address or UUID shown in a tmux session
- add custom regex patterns to highlight and copy
- vimium-style keyboard hinting inside tmux

## When to choose
- you live in tmux and want fast mouse-free copy/paste
- you want a faster, Rust-based alternative to tmux-fingers
- you need to grab common patterns like paths, SHAs, and UUIDs quickly

## When to avoid
- you don't use tmux
- you need a GUI clipboard manager
- you can't install Rust or use TPM
