Clipboard Unicode normalization

Questions & Suggestions
1

I am such a beginner with Keyboard Maestro, I can't believe that I am asking for a feature, but here I am.

In some documents, accented characters are encoded as unicode "combining forms." These don't work well with some word processors. It would be great if Keyboard Maestro had a filter for the Clipboard to convert "combining form" unicode into single-character forms. (There is a discussion of this at https://unicode.org/faq/normalization.html.

For instance, I just copied this string out of a pdf: Konsˇc ́ak, and it should read Konšćak.

Yes, it is on the todo list.

It probably could be done via JXA using NSString’s methods:

@property (readonly, copy) NSString *decomposedStringWithCanonicalMapping;
@property (readonly, copy) NSString *precomposedStringWithCanonicalMapping;
@property (readonly, copy) NSString *decomposedStringWithCompatibilityMapping;
@property (readonly, copy) NSString *precomposedStringWithCompatibilityMapping;
