CLIPJOIN(1p)

🌸 CLIPJOIN 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to CLIPJOIN(1p) — yes it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual, and yes it's gonna be a whole vibe. clipjoin is the little script that cleans up your clipboard so you don't have to suffer. 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

clipjoin — Remove superfluous spaces from the clipboard. that's it, that's the whole job, and it EATS. 💅

---

💅 VERSION 💅

version 0.32</purl> — wait, version 0.32. slay. 🎀

🫶 MOTIVATION 🫶

okay so picture this: you copy some stuff, and it looks like this:

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

Getting that URL into a browser is tedious. genuinely painful. not the vibe. 😭

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. that's the whole plot twist bestie.

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

iconic. ate and left no crumbs. 🔥
