Access the clipboard and do not care if the OS is Linux, MacOS or Windows.
You have Clipboard.copy
,
Clipboard.paste
and
Clipboard.clear
Have fun ;)
On Linux, you can choose, from which clipboard you want to paste
, default is CLIPBOARD.
copy
copies to all clipboards in Clipboard::CLIPBOARDS.
If you paste with 1.9, the Clipboard encoding will be translated to your Encoding.default_external
.
If you paste with 1.8, it will fallback to CP850 encoding. Copying with 1.8 will fallback to the clip
utility, which is installed by default since Vista
To you use the clipboard through ssh, you need to install xauth
on your server and connect via ssh -X
or ssh -Y
.
There is a java implementation included (Clipboard::Java
) as an option for JRuby. However, on Linux, it always operates (only) on the CLIPBOARD clipboard.
