One-click solution for accidental space before bullet!

[csss1234]

The Problem

I had this problem ALL the time, mostly from copy-pasting into my notes. A space gets added before a bullet, breaking lots of outliner features. Like this:

- Good line
	- Good line
	 - Problem line
- Good line
 - Problem line

Regex Solution

This regex will fix the above problem:
Search (?<=\n)(\t*) +-
Replace $1-

Plugins to implement it:

Any of these will work

• Linter
• Find & Replace in Selection
• Regex Find/Replace

Advanced URI will NOT encode it properly as of Oct 1 '23.

My One-Click solution

I don't always want to Lint the entire document just to fix this problem. And "Regex Find/Replace" requires manual input, extra taps. My preference:

1. Assign the regex to "Find & Replace in Selection".
2. Get the Advanced URI (plugin) for that command to use anywhere. obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=VAULTNAMEHERE&commandid=find-and-replace-in-selection%253Afind-and-replace-in-selection
3. Add/or add the command to Commander for menu buttons. With commander, you could create a macro to "select all" first, if you always want to run it on the whole page.

Warnings

This regex has no way to avoid code blocks or yaml
