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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
