A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What’s a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

    I replaced rm with trash-put, just in case I realize I need some files that I removed down the line.

    alias rm='trash-put'

    Official author don’t recommend it due to different semantics. But honestly for my own personal use case its fine for me.

    Also I like to alias xclip:

    alias clippy='xclip -selection clipboard'

# cat things.txt | clippy
