The Problem
Developers constantly copy commands from LLMs, Stack Overflow, or history but forget what the options mean. Reading man pages breaks flow, and existing tools are shell-specific or require leaving the terminal. This creates friction and risk when running unfamiliar commands.

I have made man pages 10x more useful (zsh-vi-man)
If you use zsh with vi mode, you can use it to look for an options description quickly by pressing `Shift-K` while hovering it. Similar to pressing `Shift-K` in Vim to see a function's parameters. I built this because I often reuse commands from other people, from LLMs, or even from my own history, but rarely remember what all the options mean. I hope it helps you too, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Improving Zsh vi-mode ergonomics with inline man-page lookups (zsh-vi-man)
I wrote a small extension called `zsh-vi-man` that hooks into Zsh’s line editor. When your cursor is on a command-line option, pressing Shift+K opens the relevant part of the man page. It’s similar to how Vim’s `K` works, but adapted for shell usage by identifying the token under the cursor and jumping to the matching section in the manual.
