- wip - feat: Create \'strlen\' plugin to display clipboard string length

Congratulations on your new Raycast extension! 🚀 You can expect an initial review within five business days. Once the PR is approved and merged, the extension will be available on our Store. |

I think you should use https://github.com/sindresorhus/string-length to calculate the correct length. Also, it's better to add https://github.com/sindresorhus/string-width for calculating width. |
Hm, might be nice for a second and third field. |
- eslint fix - add other length + width

It's better not to read the user's clipboard. You can add a preference option to let the user enable this feature manually.

Don't setInput from here. You will get a repeated text while pasting.

You can always show the result of string-length and string-width since they are under different calculation logics.
You can also provide the library link to users to let know why we have three results.

This is also already possible in Clipboard History 🙂

Yea but not all strings I want to check are on the clipboard. Plus, |
|
What about Toolbox? We might be able to make some support for making quicklinks for a specific view 😊 |
|
Why the urge to bundle this into another extension? I think the Linux philosophy of ‘one tool one job’ is still the best. |

It's because our store is massive and we're trying not to add too many with the same purpose I also found this extension in the store which seems to be what you're looking for with extra options too 🙂 |
