+yank (yank terminal output to clipboard)
+
+The yank(1) utility reads input from stdin and display a selection
+interface that allows a field to be selected and copied to the
+clipboard. Fields are either recognized by a regular expression using
+the -g option or by splitting the input on a delimiter sequence using
+the -d option.
+
+Using the arrow keys will move the selected field. The interface
+supports several Emacs and Vi like key bindings, consult the man page
+for further reference. Pressing the return key will invoke the yank
+command and write the selected field to its stdin. The yank command
+defaults to xsel(1) but could be anything that accepts input on stdin.
+
+Note: xsel is not a required dependency for this, but it's highly
+recommended, at least if you're using X. For Wayland users, there's
+probably an equivalent tool.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
