Crate hjkl_clipboard 

Cross-platform clipboard library with rich types, async support, and context-aware backend selection (native desktop, OSC 52 over SSH / tmux).

Quick start

use hjkl_clipboard::{Clipboard, Selection, MimeType};

let cb = Clipboard::new().unwrap();
cb.set(Selection::Clipboard, MimeType::Text, b"hello").unwrap();
let data = cb.get(Selection::Clipboard, MimeType::Text).unwrap();
assert_eq!(data, b"hello");

Custom backends

Clipboard::with_backend accepts any Box<dyn Backend>, enabling test mocks (backend::mock::MockBackend), decorators (backend::ssh_aware::SshAwareBackend), or third-party impls. Check Clipboard::capabilities before invoking methods that may return ClipboardError::UnsupportedMime or ClipboardError::UnsupportedAsync.
