[Feature request] Grab magnet links from clipboard

[ViBE-HU]

It would be nice and easy if Transmission grab magnet links from clipboard if become top.

Which interface are you talking about. Eg. the web interface.

Regardless I'd recommend using something else to monitor your clipboard and then using transmission-remote to add the torrents. For example I use this script to continually monitor and output changes to the clipboard.

You can plug it to transmission like so:

clipsink - -l | grep --line-buffer '^magnet:' | tee /dev/tty | xargs -r -d '\n' -n1 transmission-remote -a

now as you copy magnet links the links you copy will be printed out. Once you're done with all of them you can input C-d to end the pipeline.

It is quite invasive to actively monitor the clipboard for torrents or magnets. A simpler drag+drop implementation or a paste-anchor somewhere would be easier. Or do you just need something like a protocol handler?

I found this feature in Transmission Remote GUI. It caps the clipboard content if the application gets foreground. It does not monitor in background AFAIK. @vlunn and @varesa also metioned the same feature meanwhile.
