yank

Read input from stdin and display a selection interface that allows a field to be selected and copied to the clipboard.

• Yank using the default delimiters (\f, \n, \r, \s, \t):

{{sudo dmesg}} | yank

• Yank an entire line:

{{sudo dmesg}} | yank -l

• Yank using a specific delimiter:

{{echo hello=world}} | yank -d {{=}}

• Only yank fields matching a specific pattern:

{{ps ux}} | yank -g {{"[0-9]+"}}
