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. |
