I think the shortcut is self-explanatory but let me call out a few thoughts that went into it and describe how I feel about Shortcuts on iOS. Apple seems confused about how people use web links. I almost never want to paste a web preview. I use these often because in 2020 plain text is still the most portable form of information. On my Mac I have several Keyboard Maestro macros that convert my clipboard to text. The root cause of my frustration is that iOS treats URL sharing as a special case and the clipboard gets confused if I want text or a web preview, or some other version of a URL. I made this really simple but incredibly useful shortcut to solve the problem. Every time I tried to paste the link in a web form the clipboard seemed empty. A few weeks ago I was trying to share a link I copied from the Safari sharing sheet on iOS.
