VimYank Extension

The VimYank extension enables users to quickly and efficiently copy visible elements from web pages using Vim-inspired commands. It leverages hint-based navigation, ensuring precise targeting even in complex web layouts with nested and overlapping elements. The extension aims to only show copy hints for elements visible within the viewport.

How to use:

Activate yank mode by pressing Y (copy all text within an element) or y (copy only the text directly within the element, excluding any child elements).

To copy, type in the corresponding number for the box overlaid on the element.

To exit yank mode, press Y/y again or press Escape.

To hide the top layer of hints, you can press space. Pressing Shift + Space does the same but in the opposite direction.
