# System clipboard integration # # This file has support for doing system clipboard copy and paste operations # from the command line in a generic cross-platform fashion. # # On OS X and Windows, the main system clipboard or "pasteboard" is used. On other # Unix-like OSes, this considers the X Windows CLIPBOARD selection to be the # "system clipboard", and the X Windows `xclip` command must be installed. # clipcopy - Copy data to clipboard # # Usage: # # <command> | clipcopy - copies stdin to clipboard # # clipcopy <file> - copies a file's contents to clipboard # function clipcopy() { emulate -L zsh local file=$1 if [[ $OSTYPE == darwin* ]]; then if [[ -z $file ]]; then pbcopy else cat $file | pbcopy fi elif [[ $OSTYPE == cygwin* ]]; then if [[ -z $file ]]; then cat > /dev/clipboard else cat $file > /dev/clipboard fi else if which xclip &>/dev/null; then if [[ -z $file ]]; then xclip -in -selection clipboard else xclip -in -selection clipboard $file fi elif which xsel &>/dev/null; then if [[ -z $file ]]; then xsel --clipboard --input else cat "$file" | xsel --clipboard --input fi else print "clipcopy: Platform $OSTYPE not supported or xclip/xsel not installed" >&2 return 1 fi fi } # clippaste - "Paste" data from clipboard to stdout # # Usage: # # clippaste - writes clipboard's contents to stdout # # clippaste | <command> - pastes contents and pipes it to another process # # clippaste > <file> - paste contents to a file # # Examples: # # # Pipe to another process # clippaste | grep foo # # # Paste to a file # clippaste > file.txt function clippaste() { emulate -L zsh if [[ $OSTYPE == darwin* ]]; then pbpaste elif [[ $OSTYPE == cygwin* ]]; then cat /dev/clipboard else if which xclip &>/dev/null; then xclip -out -selection clipboard elif which xsel &>/dev/null; then xsel --clipboard --output else print "clipcopy: Platform $OSTYPE not supported or xclip/xsel not installed" >&2 return 1 fi fi }
