Description

This add-on tries to remove all line breaks from selected text or when no text is selected the whole field. This is e.g. useful when pasting text from PDF files.

This add-on offers some configuration options (like the shortcut).

You should adjust the default shortcut combination. If the shortcut suddenly stops working you should check if you have a shortcut conflict: If the same shortcut is set twice (e.g in Anki and one add-on or in two add-ons) then the shortcut is not working anymore.

# some features

  • if text is selected, only the selection is affected.
  • can be called from context menu
  • you can undo the action with Ctrl+Z
  • tries to preserve double line breaks
  • the add-on tries to remove "-" which are at the end of the line. A crude algorithm is used that might remove too much or too little.

# Versions

  • 2025-08-27 fix for 25.02+
  • 2022-09-28 fix for 2.1.50+, better soft hyphen removal, some code cleanup
  • 2021-12-11 new icon I like better, misc
  • 2021-04-12 fix for 2.1.41+
  • 2020-05-11 always undo with Ctrl/Cmd+Z, keep formatting when replacing whole field contents. Both changes are made possible by moving the replacing code from python to js (in the webview). Now the add-on always tries to remove "-" at the end of a line, there's no more user setting to deactivate this. If you still have such a user setting it will have no effect.

# Problems, Bugs, Errors, Improvements There's a good chance that you'll find bugs. If you find one or have a bug fix or improvement you can tell me in the official support forum or on github.

# other authors This add-on is an extended modification of RemoveLinebreak (which has been unchanged for over three years and looks abandoned).
