Clipboard Configuration

You can configure the way copying works in nyaa using several options. The configuration looks like:

[clipboard]
x11_selection = "..."
cmd = "..."
shell_cmd = "..."

For those using X11, you can change the option x11_selection to either Primary or Clipboard to change which selection X11 will copy the content into. This would look like:

[clipboard]
x11_selection = "Primary" # or "Clipboard"

For those using WSL, tmux, or any other non-standard clipboard manager, you can invoke a command on copy using the cmd and shell_cmd option. The placeholder {content} is used for substituting the text to copy into the command. shell_cmd is optional when running a command, and only specifies which shell to run the command with. By default it is sh -c for linux and powershell.exe -Command for windows.

For copying on WSL, this config would look like:

[clipboard]
cmd = 'echo "{content}" | clip.exe'
# shell_cmd = "bash -c" # optional

For tmux, a possible configuration would look like:

[clipboard]
cmd = 'tmux set-buffer "{content}"'
# shell_cmd = "bash -c" # optional
