The newest version of jless ships with a handful of new helpful features:

• A ys command to copy unescaped string literals to the clipboard
• A family of printing p commands, analogous to the y commands, that print simply content to the screen. Useful for viewing long string values, or if the clipboard functionality isn't working

Internal:

• Upgraded from structopt to clap v3

New features:

• F1 now opens help page
• Search initialization commands (/, ?, *, #) all now accept count arguments
