💖 CLIPEDIT 💖

okay bestie, so this is clipedit — a lil Perl script (from the Clipboard distribution) that edits your clipboard contents in one swoop. yes. one. swoop. 💅

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.32 — she's a specific girlie, and that's her number.

🔥 MOTIVATION 🔥

the whole reason she exists?? eliminating the "Open editor, edit stuff, copy back to the clipboard" shuffle. that's it. that's the villain origin story. no more of that three-step nonsense, we're doing it in ONE move now. ate. 👑

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

bestie listen. if for some reason the clipboard contents changes during the edit session — like, mid-edit, some other app just decides to do its own thing — 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) yeah. drama. you get a whole little menu. but the default is your edits, so if you just smash Enter you're fine, i promise. 🫶

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

if you don't want the script to use vim to edit (valid, honestly, no judgement), set either the environment variable $VISUAL or $EDITOR. that's the whole config. slay, minimalism. ✨
