Usage

Configure what fields you want to copy.
Configure when to copy the fields.
The content of the fields will be sent to the clipboard under the set conditions.

Copied text preserves HTML line breaks and paragraph boundaries. Configured fields are separated by newlines in their configured order. Formatting, images, and Anki [sound:...] references are omitted from the plain text. If no non-whitespace text remains, the clipboard is left unchanged.

Check formatting without changing files with hatch check fmt. Apply formatting fixes with hatch check fmt --fix.
