`pbcopy` and `pbpaste` are one of my most-loved in the list.

Dealing with some minified json, switching to iTerm, doing `pbpaste | json_pp | pbcopy` and having a clean output is _so_ nice.

I have a script always running that polls for youtube URLs using pbpaste and runs yt-dl

then just highlight any youtube link and COPY

later when I have time, I can use quicklook to browse directory of youtube videos.

That’s a great hack thanks for the tip.

FYI: yt-dlp is more up to date and faster, AFIK: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

I download and save it as 'ytdl' for convenience, but I use it all the time on twitter too.
