  “Pin a region once. Hit a hotkey on every page. Get the whole book as text.”

Much better than the old definition of “region lock”, nice.

HN isn’t a fan of the generated readmes though, though vibed software (thoroughly used) can be all good.

Yes, but the problem with these vibe-coded crap is that they are pretty much always less than a week old, which means it wasn't even used before the “author” submitted it here.

it can also auto paginate for you, no need to keep hitting the hotkey every page. It can paginate by hotkey, xy point on screen or selector.

    But only you and your fingers (or voice!) can address that other glaring point that killed your other comments to the point only those of us with showdead in our settings will see them :)

    OK yeah seemed tedious so figured that must’ve not been the only way [probably if you handwrite you could clear that up beforehand]
