Remove Newlines

Core Features

• Adds two (sorely needed) actions to Obsidian.md:
  1. Remove newlines from text (optionally remove word-break hyphenation and fix consecutive whitespace issues)
  2. Remove blank lines from text
• The actions accept input from wherever you might have text:
  1. Selected in the editor
  2. From your clipboard (while pasting)
• The actions can be run any way you find most convenient:
  1. Right-click menu (context menu)
  2. Keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys)
  3. Command Palette

Usage

Change Settings

You can change how Remove Newlines handles word-break hyphenation and consecutive whitespace (when removing newlines) by visiting the plugin's settings tab.

Adding Hotkeys

There are no hotkeys for these actions by default, but you can create them in the settings modal under the "Hotkeys" section.
