## Description

Yank is a keyboard-first clipboard extension for developers and power users who copy information all day. It reduces copy/paste friction by letting you copy, transform, and reuse page content quickly without leaving the tab.

What each feature does: ( Alt+m = help menu extension features )
<ul><li>Copy Current Page URL
    Copies the URL of the active tab instantly to your clipboard.</li><li>Auto-Copy on Selection
    When Auto-Copy is enabled, selecting text (mouse or keyboard) copies it automatically.
    Optional behaviors include plain-text output, append mode (build one combined clipboard), source tagging, and per-site
    controls.</li><li>JSON Tools
    Choose one JSON mode at a time:<ul><li>Pretty Print: Converts minified/raw JSON into readable, indented JSON when copied.</li><li>Path Copy: In decorated JSON blocks, click a key to copy its full path (example: response.data.user.roles[0]).</li><li>Markdown Table: Converts a JSON array of objects into a Markdown table for docs/PRs/notes.</li></ul></li><li>Clean Code Block Copy
    Copies clean code from selection/focus/hover/nearby code blocks, reducing extra UI noise and making pasted code easier to
    use.</li><li>Copy as Fetch / Copy as cURL
    Transforms detected request text into runnable fetch(...) or curl ... snippets for debugging, testing, or sharing API
    calls.</li><li>Help Menu + Custom Keybinds
    Built-in help panel and fully configurable shortcuts from Options, with duplicate-keybind guards.</li></ul>
Privacy and behavior:
<ul><li>Runs locally in the browser.</li><li>No account required.</li><li>No telemetry/analytics.</li><li>No external API calls for feature processing.</li><li>Settings are stored locally in extension storage.</li></ul>
