💖 CLIPJOIN 💖

okay so bestie, meet clipjoin — it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation, and its whole entire job is literally just cleaning up your clipboard. she's small, she's focused, she's that girl. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

clipjoin — Remove superfluous spaces from the clipboard. that's it. that's the mission. 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.32 ✨

🔥 MOTIVATION 🔥

okay so, the lore. Often you'll copy some stuff, and it comes out looking like this:

<ingy> hey rking, you should use YBFOD: http://search.cpan
  | .org/~ingy/Acme-YBFOD-0.11/

and getting that URL into a browser is tedious. genuinely. nobody has time for that. 😭

Another IRC example is longer quotes:

<strunk> Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the
    conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities
    exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with enate capacity but
    that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably
    be taken into account. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the
    race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither
    yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor
    yet favour to men of skill, but time and chance happeneth to them all.

If you wanted to quote that to someone, you'd have \n's and " "'s everywhere, unless you ran clipjoin first. and like, we simply do not want \n's and " "'s everywhere. 🫶

An example from mutt:

,-------------------------------------------.  |  xterm
(X) | +-------------------------------------------+ |
http://www.thisisalink.com/that/wrapped/ar|
|+ound/a/line/and/its/a/pain/without/the/joi| |+inclip/script
| `-------------------------------------------'

Becomes: http://www.thisisalink.com/that/wrapped/around/a/line/and/its/a/pain/without/the/clipjoin/script

look at her. reunited. reassembled. the URL is whole again and the vibe check is passed. 🌈
