CLIPFILTER(1p)

💖 CLIPFILTER 💖

okay bestie, so this is clipfilter — it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's the 1p vibe, perl-flavoured section 1, iykyk) and it is literally here to run a bunch of conversions on your clipboard data. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

clipfilter — run various conversions for your clipboard data. 🦋

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.32 💅

---

🫶 USAGE 🫶

# (copy some stuff)
$ clipfilter -html
# (paste, with html entities substituted in)

# or URI-escaping:
$ clipfilter -uri

# or pipe through an arbitrary program, like `tac`, the backwards cat:
$ clipfilter tac
# Note: currently, this just dumps everything to open2() and reads
# everything back. It could possibly create a deadlock, but I haven't
# found the case that causes this, yet.

not me casually warning you about a possible deadlock in the comments like it's nothing 😭 the author hasn't found the case that causes it yet, so consider yourself warned fr fr.

💡 MOTIVATION 💡

okay so here's the tea: a very frequent user pattern is that you copy something, edit it in some rote, boring, copy-paste-y way, and then paste it right back. it's giving muscle memory. and the glow-up? writing your own filter scripts makes it even more useful. main character energy for your clipboard honestly 👑

💀 BUGS 💀

current weirdness when piping this to some programs, like 'wc' and 'tail'. I will work on this. 🙈
