Add option for better paste IDs using invisible characters

[enesflow]

Add a new option called "Use Better Fetching Placeholder" that when activated will generate unique paste IDs by placing invisible characters in random places in the "Fetching Title" string so that it looks a bit nicer.

If activated, this new generation method might cause some problems with some spellchecks.

Clever! I like it, thanks!

May I ask why the plugin appends characters for uniqueness at all? Why make "Fetching title" unique? 🤔

I think the plugin searches the "Fetching title" and replaces it with the title and url in the file. So those random characters are necessary to not mess with user generated text and support multiple requests simultaneously.

Makes sense.

support multiple requests simultaneously

Hm, I can't get this to work. When the clipboard is:

https://www.example.net
https://www.example.com

and I run the Paste URL and auto fetch title command, the plugin simply pastes the URLs as in normal paste--no title fetching.

I haven't explored the code that much but I assume this not working is because the plugin currently checks if the whole clipboard paste is a URL or not. But implementing the functionality "multi URL pastes" wouldn't be that difficult.

Also, by simultaneous requests, I meant pasting multiple URLs one at a time consecutively while the previous requests are ongoing.

The plugin only supports fetching a clipboard with a single URL, it doesn't perform any splitting of a single clipboard with multiple URLs, though you can put your cursor over each URL and trigger gathering the title for each one independently.

The unique title is because the plugin replaces the "Fetching Title" link with the resulting title so the unique titles allow it to differentiate between in flight requests when multiple are running at the same time.

All cleared up. Thank you!
