clipfix 0.1.0

Remove visual hard-wraps from terminal-copied text

clipfix

Fixes text copied from a terminal by removing visual hard-wraps.

When you copy a paragraph from a terminal (e.g. Claude Code inside VS Code), the terminal's line-wrapping gets baked into the clipboard — every line ends with a newline and continuation lines have leading spaces. clipfix strips those out and rejoins the text into clean paragraphs, while preserving real paragraph breaks and bulleted/numbered lists.

Install

pip install clipfix

macOS only — uses pbpaste / pbcopy.

Usage

1. Copy broken text from the terminal.
2. Run clipfix.
3. Paste — the clipboard now contains clean text.

clipfix          # fix clipboard in-place
clipfix --test   # run self-tests

What it does

• Merges wrapped lines within a paragraph into a single line
• Preserves paragraph breaks (blank lines between blocks)
• Preserves list structure — bulleted (-, *, •) and numbered (1., 2)) lists keep each item on its own line, with any wrapped continuations merged in

Example

Before (copied from terminal):

When you copy a long paragraph from a terminal, line breaks and leading
   spaces from the terminal's word-wrap get included in the clipboard.
   clipfix merges those back into clean paragraphs.

- First bullet point that wraps onto
  the next line
- Second bullet point

After running clipfix:

When you copy a long paragraph from a terminal, line breaks and leading spaces from the terminal's word-wrap get included in the clipboard. clipfix merges those back into clean paragraphs.

- First bullet point that wraps onto the next line
- Second bullet point
