Delete Newline

Stop reopening Notepad just to run Find & Replace. Save your regex rules once, assign a hotkey, then: select → hotkey → paste. Anywhere.

Delete Newline is a system-wide hotkey tool for instant text transformation. Highlight any text in any application — your browser, code editor, PDF reader, chat window — press a hotkey, and the transformed result lands on your clipboard, ready to paste.

No more copy → open editor → paste → find/replace → copy → paste back. Just one keystroke.

🚀 How It Works

⚙️ One-Time Setup

Tell Delete Newline what you want to do. This setup is required only once per workflow.

1. Create a rule chain — add one or more regex rules that define your transformation
2. Assign a hotkey — bind a unique keyboard shortcut to that rule chain

⚡ Daily Workflow

Once it's set up, the daily flow is dead simple:

1. Select any text (mouse drag or keyboard selection)
2. Press your custom hotkey
3. Paste — the transformed text is on your clipboard, ready to go

💡 Use Cases

A few real-world examples of what you can build with regex chains:

📄 Clean up text copied from PDFs

PDFs frequently break sentences with hard line breaks. Restore the original flow in one keystroke.

Pattern	Replace with
[\r\n|\n]	(single space)

🔗 Strip tracking parameters from URLs

Remove utm_*, fbclid, gclid, and other junk before sharing a link. This is a great example of chained rules — three small rules combine into a robust cleaner:

#	Pattern	Replace with	What it does
1	[?&](utm_[^=]+|fbclid|gclid)=[^&]*	(empty)	Removes each tracking param with its separator
2	^([^?\n]*)&	$1?	Repairs URLs that lost their leading ?
3	\?$	(empty)	Trims a bare trailing ? if all params were tracking

📝 Convert Markdown to plain text

Chain rules to strip formatting — perfect for pasting into plain-text fields. Rule order matters: bold must run before italic, or **word** gets mangled into *word*.

#	Pattern	Replace with	What it does
1	\*\*(.+?)\*\*	$1	Remove bold
2	\*(.+?)\*	$1	Remove italic (must run after rule 1)
3	\[([^\]]+)\]\([^)]+\)	$1	Convert links to plain text
4	(?m)^#+\s+	(empty)	Strip heading markers (#, ##, …)

📅 Reformat dates on the fly

Swap date formats without leaving the app you're already in.

Pattern	Replace with	Result
(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})	$2/$3/$1	2025-04-28 → 04/28/2025
