nu_plugin_clipboard's Introduction

nu_plugin_clipboard

A nushell plugin to copy text into clipboard or get text from it.

  • clipboard copy: copy a text that's given as input
    • --{disable or enable}-daemon (-d): spawn a daemon that manages clipboard (if copy is not working try using this flag)
  • clipboard paste: returns current text value of clipboard

Examples

  • to copy a string (ONLY string for now)
~> echo "test value" | clipboard copy
  • to use a string that is in clipboard
~> clipboard paste | echo $in
  • in order to copy tables please convert them to text format like JSON, YAML, ...
    • you are able to paste them as tables again using clipboard paste | from json
~> $env | to json | clipboard copy
~> clipboard paste | from json

~> ps | to json | clipboard copy
~> clipboard paste | from json

nu_plugin_clipboard's Issues

`copy` does not copy on ArchLinux

i was able to make the plugin work on Ubuntu, no issues 👌

however, on my ArchLinux personal machine, clipboard copy does not appear to be working...

Note
the following behaviour does not occur when i paste from selecting text in my browser for instance => i can paste it and even use clipboard paste without any issues in that case 👌

it's really when using clipboard copy that clipboard paste and the normal paste don't work

repro

> "foo" | clipboard copy
foo
> clipboard paste
Error:   × get clipboard content error
   ╭─[entry #5:1:1]
 1 │ clipboard paste
   · ───────┬───────
   ·        ╰── The clipboard contents were not available in the requested format or the clipboard is empty.
   ╰────

and finally using ctrl + shift + v in Nushell does not paste either, so it appears the clipboard is indeed empty

cannot install on windows; checks for unix env var
