Here is a little-known macOS & browser productivity secret: whenever you highlight cells in Apple Numbers, Excel, or Google Sheets and press Command+C, your clipboard holds clean Tab-Separated Values (TSV).

Why Standard Online Workarounds Slow You Down

Downloading temporary .csv files cluttering your ~/Downloads folder just to convert 30 rows of data wastes time every day.
