Tim here. The easiest way I know to reflow lines like that is to pipe them through fmt(1), specifying a humongous line-width like fmt -w99999 If you have the content in your clipboard, you can use xsel or xclip to pipe it out to fmt(1) and back into the clipboard like $ xsel -ob | fmt -w99999 | xsel -ib before pasting it into Firefox (or email or whatever). If you use it frequently, it could be wrapped up in a shell-script or a hot-key in your window-manager. Does that do the trick for you? -Tim On December 12, 2021, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Okay, so my text editing environment of choice is Nano running in > the Linux Console, and I'm constantly using the justify function to > hard wrap text because lines wider than the screen are difficult to > work with. > > If I need to post something I wrote in nano online, but can't just > upload the .txt, I'll save, close nano, switch to tty1 where I > usually have Firefox running in a stripped down xserver, open the > text file in Firefox, and copy and paste into the text box. > > >From my perspective, everything works fine, but I've gotten > >complaints > from sighted users about the extra line breaks from the hardwrapping > making text posted in this manner hard to read. > > Is there a way to make Firefox ignore the hard wrapping when copying > text from a hardwrapped text file to a web form, or failing that, an > easy means of copying a hardwrapped text file to an unwrapped text > file? > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
