Features

• Convert the selected text to a list of quoted words

    "--arg1 a --arg2 b --arg3 c" => "--arg1", "a", "--arg2", "b", "--arg3", "c"

• Convert a sequence of quoted words to a single string

    "--arg1", "a", "--arg2", "b", "--arg3", "c" => "--arg1 a --arg2 b --arg3 c"

• It also handles multiline text

--arg1 a \\
--arg2 b \\
--arg3 c
=> "--arg1", "a", "--arg2", "b", "--arg3", "c"
