Crate copypasta_ext

A clipboard library providing useful extensions for the copypasta library.

Here are some of these additions:

• X11ForkClipboardProvider: forks process and sets clipboard, keeps contents after exit
• X11BinClipboardProvider: invokes xclip/xsel to set clipboard, keeps contents after exit
• Osc52ClipboardContext: use OSC 52 escape sequence to set clipboard contents
• CombinedClipboardProvider: combine two providers, use different for getting/setting clipboard

Example

Get and set clipboard contents. Keeps contents in X11 clipboard after exit by forking the process. Falls back to standard clipboard provider on non X11 platforms. See x11_fork module for details.

use copypasta_ext::prelude::*;
use copypasta_ext::x11_fork::ClipboardContext;

let mut ctx = ClipboardContext::new().unwrap();
println!("{:?}", ctx.get_contents());
ctx.set_contents("some string".into()).unwrap();

Get and set clipboard contents. Keeps contents in X11 clipboard after exit by invoking xclip/xsel. Falls back to standard clipboard provider on non X11 platforms. See x11_bin module for details.

use copypasta_ext::prelude::*;
use copypasta_ext::x11_bin::ClipboardContext;

let mut ctx = ClipboardContext::new().unwrap();
println!("{:?}", ctx.get_contents());
ctx.set_contents("some string".into()).unwrap();

Requirements

• Rust 1.40 or above
• Same requirements as copypasta
• Requirements noted in specific clipboard context modules

Re-exports
