A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What’s a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

    Similar to yours OP I copy many URLs and then run my script that takes the number of URLs I copied eg 5,and downloads them with yt-dlp and GNU parallel to ~/Videos

    I use CopyQ to hold the clipboard history.
