My solution is to use perl script fix-clipb.pl that works this way:
1. Select the text in gedit and copy it to your clipboard with ctrl+c
2. Run the script. You can create a launcher on your Gnome top panel.
3. Paste it in your Evernote note with ctrl+v.
How to configure it:
1. Install xclip first. Go to Ubuntu Software Centre and search for xclip, install it.
2. Create fix-clipb.pl file and save it somewhere:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
@clipboardInput=`xclip -o -selection clipboard`;
$tmp_file = "/var/tmp/xclip.txt";
open OUT_FILE, ">$tmp_file" or die("Error: cannot open file for write /var/tmp/xclip.txt\n");
foreach (@clipboardInput) {
chomp;
$_ =~ s/\t/ /g;
print OUT_FILE "$_\n\r";
}
close (OUT_FILE);
system("xclip -selection clipboard -i $tmp_file");
system("rm $tmp_file");
3. Make the script runnable: chmod +x fix-clipb.pl
4. Add custom launcher to the script in your Gnome top panel.
Details what it does:
1. Gets your clipboard content with xclip.
2. Creates a temp file with line endings converted to Windows standard: \n\r (this is what Evernote treates as a line break). Additionally it replaces all tabs with 4 spaces as I noticed Evernote doesn't like tabs...
3. Exports temp file to your clipboard
4. Deletes the temp file.
