Access the clipboard and do not care if the OS is Linux, MacOS or Windows.
You have Clipboard.copy
,
Clipboard.paste
and
Clipboard.clear
Have fun ;)
On Linux, you can choose, from which clipboard you want to paste
, default is PRIMARY.
copy
copies to all clipboards in Clipboard::CLIPBOARDS.
If you paste with 1.9, the Clipboard encoding will be translated to your Encoding.default_external
.
If you paste with 1.8, it will fallback to CP850 encoding. Copying with 1.8 will fallback to the clip
utility, which is installed by default since Vista
-
Linux:
xclip
, you can install it on debian/ubuntu withsudo apt-get install xclip
-
Don’t depend on
xclip
