Is there a keyboard shortcut in Atom for removing duplicates in a text file?

Question

I have a list of values like so:
CAT
Dog
cat
Cow
dOg

I want it to have unique entries in quotes like this:
'CAT'
'Dog'
'Cow'

Is there a shortcut in Atom for this?

Answer 1

Not at the moment. But if you are on a POSIX like system (Linux and MacOS by default, Windows with some help), you can make use of the atom package 'pipe'

Just mark your text and pipe it through this command:

sort -f | uniq -i

or with the long options (yes, sort has -f and uniq -i):

sort --ignore-case | uniq --ignore-case

On my system that results in:

cat
Cow
dOg

Please note that uniq want's its input sorted and similar entries following each other. Thats why your need to sort them first

Answer 2

atom now has a plugin called duplicate-removal which will remove duplicate lines automatically
