oscopy

Python script to copy from STD to your clipboard with OSC 52.

How to Use It

You simply pipe to it, then you can paste whatever you piped:

echo coucou_yopta | oscopy
# now you can paste "coucou_yopta" everywhere

Important

This works even if you're connected to a remote SSH server. The content will travel through SSH and arrive in your local system clipboard.

Attention though, the echo adds a trailing newline. You can strip it with oscopy -s:

echo precision | oscopy -s
# now you can paste "precision" knowing it won't add a newline

Why not piping file contents?

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | oscopy
# then paste your SSH pubkey on the website...

If you want you can just pass your text as args, not piping anything:

oscopy Yes, I can do this.
# this makes "Yes, I can do this." magically appear in your clipboard

Install
