I know firefox has the very useful “Copy clean Link” option in the context menu, but I would like a similar feature for copying links from any other software, like spotify for example. So I am looking for some software that hooks into the clipboard pipeline, and cleans any URL that gets added. I tried googling for something like it, but was completely unsuccessful. Does anyone have a clue how I might go about achieving this?

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: I found out about klipper’s actions, which provide the option to run a command when a string that matches a regex is added to the clipboard buffer. I am not sure how to properly use this though, so any help is appreciated!

          Having more beautiful and structured URLs. I suppose for those cases it’s more of a preference, and with the tooling I use (.NET) it’s not too difficult to achieve.

          I guess my gripe with your original statement was that I was thinking mostly of state like user login etc. I have to concede it’s not totally garbage for the cases you mentioned.
