clipboard

I am developing a Google Chrome extension. When a popup is clicked, I would like the input box present in the popup.html file to contain the selected text of the current webpage. Example textbox: <input id="searchBox" type="text" /> When text is selected in a webpage, the textbox should contain the selected word. I tried with chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().getSelection() but it is not working. There was a thread about this on google groups: how to get HTML code from selection? var selection = window.getSelection(); var range = selection.getRangeAt(0); if (range) { var div = document

I'm using a code from here to paste images from clipboard on a page. It works fine in all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera). The problem is: when the image is a PNG or GIF with alpha channel (transparent areas), the alpha becomes black in Firefox and Edge. Here's the code snippet ( or jsfiddle if you prefer ): document.getElementById('pasteArea').onpaste = function (event) { // use event.originalEvent.clipboard for newer chrome versions var items = (event.clipboardData || event.originalEvent.clipboardData).items; console.log(JSON.stringify(items)); // will give you the mime types //

I'm trying to create a backup of the Windows clipboard. Basically what I'm doing is using EnumClipboardFormats() to get all of the formats that exist on the clipboard currently, and then for each format, I'm calling GetClipboardData(format) . Part of backing up the data obviously involves duplicating it. I do that by calling GlobalLock() (which "Locks a global memory object and returns a pointer to the first byte of the object's memory block." ) on the data returned by GetClipboardData() , then I fetch the size of the data by calling GlobalSize() , and then finally I do a memcpy() to duplicate

I copy text from outside of Vim. ⌘V in other apps pastes text without problem. In MacVim, it doesn't work. In Insert Mode, nothing appears. In Normal Mode, I get E353: Nothing in register + . This happens when set clipboard=unnamed is on or off. Oddly enough, this was working before. What's wrong? If you are using tmux and sometimes you initially launch MacVim via the mvim command-line program, then you might be encountering the problem that prompted me to write the reattach-to-user-namespace command . My guess is that clipboard access worked on prior occasions because you happened to have

is there a way to copy a string to clipboard from command line? To be more specific, I want to make a script which copies my email address to clipboard, so that when I need to insert it several times for logging in / register, I just run the script once and then CMD+V it whenever I need. I heard of pbcopy , but I think this is not my case. Any suggestion? Many thanks! You need to pipe the output of your script to pbcopy For example: ./somescript.sh | pbcopy GM Lucid echo 'your-email@example.com' | pbcopy (as @Jonathan Leffler stated above) Or see the answer for the related question on piping
