Clipboard program
Copy Paste Program directly from a file.
Built on top of some useful Python applications.
- Typer
- Pyperclip
Not uploaded to Pypi because intended to be used as a simple terminal application.
How To Use
Using this application is really hard, make sure you do not make any typos!
clipboard <FILENAME>
It has now been added to your clipboard.
Installation
Requires Python3.6+.
Install from source:
chmod u+x terminal_to_clipboard.py
To set this up as a simple terminal application:
mkdir -p ~/bin
cp clipboard ~/bin
export PATH=$PATH":$HOME/bin"
You can also develop on it by editing the committed clipboard.py.
Motivation
I had to build this because:
- I have no idea why JavaScript's famous clipboard was so slow when copying a few lines - probably a lot of error handling
- I have no idea why xclip doesn't work half the time
- I was interested in testing a Python-based terminal application
- Was interested in testing Typer from Tiangolo (creator of the much-loved FastAPI)
