Remove unwanted formatting from text in the clipboard: alias pbclean='pbpaste | pbcopy'

• dllthomas 11y ago
  I wrote "write the clipboard to a temp file; open it in vim; when vim exits, if the temp file has been written, load it into the clipboard". Pretty convenient. Also, (though not, I think, relevant to OS X), binding a key to move content between PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD on X Windows has been very nice.

    Not exactly memorable, but glad that I discovered it eventually: "Shift + Option + Command - V" = Paste as Plaintext.

  I use Plain Clip for that: https://www.bluem.net/en/mac/plain-clip/ https://www.bluem.net/en/mac/plain-clip/. It’s a standalone Mac app that cleans the clipboard and then quits immediately. I can run it quickly with LaunchBar while I’m using a GUI app.
