Feature request: Copy result to clipboard.

[venikman]

Maybe that feature exists but It would be great if users could copy their search results or some fields to clipboard. I know about the ability to select but it now what I want

[antonmedv]

Can you show an example of usage? Or maybe there is some other cli apps with this feature?

[venikman]

I have cli app that console.log(someJSON). But it very simple. I can of course use something like child_process.exec('fx someJSON') . But would be neat to have native support here.
Something like:

const fx = require('fx');

const json = {
    foo : 'bar',
    baz : {
       test : 123
   }
};
fx(json).copy();

And for copy have some flag --copy so it will copy whole result if you dot ., $ curl ... | fx .

Sorry didn't mean to close, misliked.

You can also do on macos this:

pbpaste | fx | pbcopy

Well I'm not sure what we are looking at but smells like encypted snap-like output.
Try 'snap' out of it ())+_-)
Get SNAP application but hold your horses, it's slightly different to all that I've used.
~$ 'snap info snap
(if you need more verbosely shell -- try 'fish' - friendly interface shell to learn what possible outputs you got)
type 'fish' and then manage others. After that 'exit' to get back in whaever shell u r using.

~$ snap refresh
~$ snap install APP_NAME --stable
~$ snap list --all
~$ snap remove (if new revision appear-old gets disabled) APP_NAME --revision NUMBER

[venikman]

Hm, looks like spam??

[from-nibly]

On linux you can just do

xclip -selection clipboard -o | fx | xclip -selection c

It's a little more verbose but you can just set up aliases in your bashrc for pbcopy and pbpaste. I don't think fx should be in charge of handling your clipboard when you can just use bash.

@antonmedv I have encountered a relevant use case: I make a request using curl and directly pipe it to fx. If the result matches a criteria, I want to copy it for further use. But currently I have to quit fx and make the request again to pipe to something like xclip. Shortcuts like y & Y to copy the json in the interactive mode would be much more convenient in this case than having to wait for the response again (if that is even an option, in case of limits) or having to select it manually from terminal output using P.

[antonmedv]

Okay, does some one what to create pr with it?

@antonmedv can this issue be reopened please?

[antonmedv]

Please, open new one ☝🏻
