=head1 NAME
clipbrowse - Load a URL from the clipboard into your browser.
=head1 VERSION
version 0.29
=head1 USAGE
# ...copy something
# (You might want to do a `clipjoin` if the URL text is messy)
$ clipbrowse
Remember that many browsers will usefully load things that don't look like
URL's. For example Firefox does a Google "I'm feeling lucky" with non-URLs.
This means you can have any text in your clipboard and `clipbrowse`.
=head1 MOTIVATION
It saves a couple of seconds every time you run it. Chrome and Firefox, for
examples, automatically create a new tab and loads the page when you invoke it
from the command line. Already we've saved a Ctrl+T and a Shift+Insert. When
you consider the parallelizing (that your browser will be actively loading the
page while you're Alt+Tabbing to it), you've squeaked out a little more.
Maybe I'm just a freak, but I like shaving out wasted time like that.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
The environment variable C<$BROWSER> will override the default launching
command. If you have a %s in the line, it will be replaced with the url. if
not, the url will be appended at the end.
The default is `chromium-browser "%s"` (Debian's Google Chrome)
If you still use Firefox, consider: `firefox -remote "openURL(%s,new-tab)"'`.
