Since 1password only runs on OS X and Windows, I'm curious why you're optimistic about doing something about Linux ("yet") but merely took a shot at Windows in your README. This might surprise you, but a significant portion of the non-valley world works on Windows, and it's fairly frustrating for Windows admins (I used to be one) to come across a neat tool and get "sucks for you, better luck next time" in your documentation.

Normally I wouldn't say anything but 1password runs on Windows, not Linux, so it was odd to come across and, if I'm honest, made me lose a small amount of interest in your work.

You make an excellent point. I did not, in any way intend to offend Windows users. I was merely trying to be "tongue-and-cheek"-y with my comment. Really, I wouldn't know how to make this work well for an admin on windows. Last I used windows to SSH I was using putty, but that was back in 2005. I have since completely moved from using Windows to *nix systems.

As far as Linux support goes, I had planned to take a stab at writing a tmux plugin so that could potentially get me in the door to supporting Linux.

All that said, I am updating my README to address some of these concerns. Thanks so much for the great feedback!
