Give this script a shot. You can import it using the ClipboardFusion Settings > Macros > Import button. You can attach a key combination to it, and it should wipe any tabs from your last copied text.

Let me know how that works! ]]> New user: want to strip all tabs if the first character is a tab (and then force to plain text) https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-user-want-to-strip-all-tabs-if-the-first-character-is-a-tab-and-then-force-to-plain-text/?ID=f65c6a2c-f402-474e-b62a-e7ae385af3c3 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 11:04:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-user-want-to-strip-all-tabs-if-the-first-character-is-a-tab-and-then-force-to-plain-text/?ID=f65c6a2c-f402-474e-b62a-e7ae385af3c3 ClipboardFusion I've just installed ClipboardFusion and need help getting started. I have a specific use case where I copy one or more lines of text from an editor to a timesheeting app. If the first character of the first line is a tab (not the first character of any line), I want to strip out all tabs and force the clipboard to plain text. Is this something I can do? I tried using the regex ^/t*, but that appears to trigger when the first character of any line is a tab.
I'm also happy for this to be a macro with a hotkey that processes the clipboard and pastes, and not worry about detection, because I have plenty of ways to set up quick hotkey access.
TIA. ]]>
