terminal-clipboard 0.1.1

a minimal cross-platform clipboard
Documentation

Warning: still experimental

terminal-clipboard is a cross-platform clipboard library focused on strings copying and pasting for terminal applications:

  • it's cross-compilation friendly
  • it's tested on macos, linux, windows
  • it doesn't support Wayland (because you're in the terminal)
  • it doesn't handle other types of objects than strings
  • it doesn't handle non UTF8 strings

If this doesn't match your requirements, don't hesitate to search for another crate: there are many ones with other goals.

terminal-clipboard is only a facade over other, specialized, clipboard crates so have a look at its own dependencies if you want a system specific clipboard or capabilities going past just text.

Usage

[dependencies]
terminal_clipboard = "0.1"
use terminal_clipboard;
let test = "TEST";
terminal_clipboard::set_string(test).unwrap();
assert_eq!(test, terminal_clipboard::get_string().unwrap());
