Strip spaces at beginning of line during send-text command

Hello, How can I strip the spaces at the beginning of all new lines in a $kak_selection? The problem is, my repl auto indents all new lines, so essentially I am doubling my indent when I send text to the repl. Btw, I don’t want to change the indent in the actual editor, only the information I am sending to the repl. Thank you, Ben

Also you can do this from kak command line by just selecting some desired text to test.

Preserves NL character:
:echo %sh{echo "${kak_selection}" | sed 's/^[ \t]*//g'}

Removes NL character:
:echo %sh{echo ${kak_selection} | sed 's/^[ \t]*//g'}

Lets us know if you get it going. Bye.
