Modifiers

Modifiers transform a placeholder’s value. Apply them with | after the placeholder:

{clipboard | uppercase}
{selection | trim}
{date | lowercase}

Chain multiple modifiers — they’re applied left to right:

{clipboard | trim | lowercase}

Available modifiers

Modifier	Effect	Example
uppercase	Convert to ALL CAPS	hello → HELLO
lowercase	Convert to all lowercase	HELLO → hello
trim	Remove leading and trailing whitespace	" hi " → "hi"
percent-encode	URL percent-encode the value	hello world → hello%20world
json-stringify	JSON-encode the value — wraps in quotes, escapes quotes and newlines	say "hi" → "say \"hi\""
raw	Prevent automatic URL encoding (quick links only)	—
capitalcase	Capitalizes the first letter of each word (rest lowercased). Alfred alias: capitals	hello world → Hello World
reverse	Reverse the string by Unicode grapheme clusters	café → éfac
stripdiacritics	Remove accents and diacritical marks via NFD normalization	café → cafe
stripnonalphanumeric	Remove all characters that are not letters or digits (whitespace, emoji, punctuation)	Hello, World! → HelloWorld

raw modifier

In quick link templates, Nibit automatically percent-encodes placeholder values to keep URLs valid. Use raw to opt out when the value is already encoded or should be passed through as-is:

https://example.com/search?q={clipboard | raw}

percent-encode vs raw

• Use percent-encode when you want explicit encoding of a value in a quick link or snippet
• Use raw to disable the automatic encoding that quick links apply by default

Common chaining patterns

Slugify (convert any text to a URL-safe slug):

{clipboard | stripdiacritics | stripnonalphanumeric | lowercase}

"São Paulo 2025!" → "saopaulo2025"
