clipboard-anywhere

Crates.io

A simple wrapper around arboard that works in a few more situations:

  • In Linux under WSL, it can copy to and from the Windows clipboard (using powershell set-clipboard and powershell get-clipboard)
  • In a remote SSH session, can copy to the local clipboard using the OSC 52 control sequence

Usage

// Attempt to get clipboard contents. Will return error in an SSH session
let clipboard_contents: String = clipboard_anywhere::get_clipboard()?;

// Set clipboard contents to "Hello, world!";
clipboard_anywhere::set_clipboard("Hello, world!")?;

To Do

  • Define custom errors instead of passing everything through Anyhow
  • Write some integration tests
