2021.04.07, checked, and now have 2021.04.17 . (Yes, it's a
command-line prog.; however, you can put your garlic and crucifix away -
it's dead easy to use: most of the time, just giving it the URL suffices
[and that's pastable - alt-space E P].)

Or, if your hand happens to be on or near the mouse, you can paste with a
single right-click.

Wow, just tried that, and it can even include an enter on the end!
(Though as my hands are on the keyboard anyway from typing youtube-dl
[and a space], I might not use it. But thanks!)

Yes, you will learn about the "pasting an enter" thing,
when you have just crafted a devastating "disk erase"
command, made a typo, and after clicking the mouse
button, realize your mistake. For example, you can quite
easily erase a partition using Robocopy. Just type
the wrong drive letter, is enough to do it.

Take great care to *not* copy the CR on the end :-/

Been there and bought that TShirt.

Any time you are doing Command Line work, relax, and
take your time. Caffeine fueled typing, whacking the
return with glee, is not recommended. The cleanup after
a mistake, is going to take a hell of a lot longer,
than slapping in typos in a mad rush. Slow and steady
wins the race.
