clipboard - copy/paste to the system clipboard
|

==================================================

The ``clipboard`` kitten can be used to read or write to the system clipboard
|
||||
from the shell. It even works over SSH. Using it is as simple as::
|
||||
|
||||
echo hooray | kitty +kitten clipboard
|
||||
|
||||
All text received on :file:`stdin` is copied to the clipboard.
|
||||
|
||||
To get text from the clipboard you have to enable reading of the clipboard
|
||||
in :opt:`clipboard_control` in :file:`kitty.conf`. Once you do that, you can
|
||||
use::
|
||||
|
||||
kitty +kitten clipboard --get-clipboard
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. program:: kitty +kitten clipboard
