Claude Clipboard Fix

A fast, native Windows utility that strips the 2-space prefix from text copied from Claude Code output. Reads the clipboard, fixes it in place, done.

Latest Version: 1.1.1 | See What's New

Claude Code's terminal renderer adds 2-space leading padding to every line. When you select and copy text, that padding comes along. This tool removes it.

Usage

1. Select and copy text from Claude Code output
2. Run ccfix.exe (via Everything, hotkey, command line, etc.)
3. Paste - the clipboard now has clean text

The tool is silent - no window, no output. It just fixes the clipboard and exits.

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• Go 1.21 or later (for building)

Building

go build -o dist/ccfix.exe -ldflags="-s -w" main.go

The -ldflags="-s -w" flags strip debug info to reduce binary size.
