A terminal utility that lets you select and copy text from command output using keyboard navigation.
What is yank?
yank is a command-line utility that reads input from stdin and provides an interactive interface to select and copy specific fields or text segments to the clipboard. It solves the problem of needing to use the mouse to copy terminal output by allowing keyboard-driven selection from command results.
Developers and system administrators who work extensively in the terminal and want to avoid using the mouse for copying text from command output.
It offers a lightweight, terminal-agnostic alternative to mouse-based copying and terminal multiplexer solutions, with flexible field recognition and support for custom clipboard commands.
