Use case or problem
Apple Copy/Pasting Includes Carriage Returns (Char13) + Line Feed Char(10) this creates unnecessary spacing in documents and is tedious to remove.
Proposed solution
Add a setting so that pasting will replace chr(13)+chr(10) back-to-back with a single carriage return (or optionally the line feed instead but I personally prefer the CR over the LF)
Current workaround (optional)
Replace doesn’t work well with both characters being invisible

No, apple doesn’t include 13 10. In that it is explained that apple uses a custom RTF format and in that RTF format the extra paragraph are present.
Apple uses CR+LF (Carriage Return plus Line Feed - chr(13)+chr(10)) when entering returns in many cases that end up in the clipboard. Would be nice to have a setting to auto-replace these upon paste to be a single CR
Can you show me an example of this happening using a clipboard visualizer tool?
Where was this copied from and which program did you use?
chr(13)+chr(10) so 0x0d and 0x0a respectively for CR+LF
TextEdit as plaintext and same result when manually typing into the tool: www. soscisurvey. de/tools/view-chars.php
You need to use a macos native clipboard viewer for this, otherwise you just get the post processing done by your browser.
Something like this
That only shows the “0D” (CR). I usually find when I copy paste from like a portion of a ChatGPT thread it has the CR+LF issues. (This of course comes from the browser, in my case chrome.)
