💖 CLIPEDIT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to clipedit — the little script that lets you edit your clipboard contents in one swoop. yes, one. swoop. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

clipedit — edit clipboard contents in one swoop. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.32 — she's grown, she's thriving 💅

🔥 MOTIVATION 🔥

okay so picture this: you're out here doing the "Open editor, edit stuff, copy back to the clipboard" shuffle 😭 every single time. opening an editor. editing. copying. back. to. the. clipboard.

clipedit said not me doing that and eliminated the entire shuffle. main character energy fr fr 👑

💀 NOTE 💀

listen up because this one matters 🫶

if for some reason the clipboard contents changes during the edit session, you will be prompted to choose between:

  1. the original Clipboard contents
  2. the new Clipboard contents
  3. the result of your edits — which is the default if you just hit "Enter"
so if you smash Enter without thinking, you get your edits. keep that in mind, bestie. 💖

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

if you don't want the script to use vim to edit, set either the environment variable $VISUAL or $EDITOR.

that's it. go off. 🌈
