clipboard

I want my Python script to be able to copy and paste to/from the clipboard via x11 (so that it will work on Linux). Can anyone point me to specific resources I can look at, or the concepts I would have to master? Is this possible to do with the Python X library at http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net ? Cameron Laird I favor a Tkinter-based solution over one which requires pygtk, simply because of the potential the latter has for installation challenges. Given this, my recommendation to Alvin Smith is to read: Tkinter Clipboard Access Cut & Paste Text Between Tkinter Widgets Tkinter-based

I need to programmatically create a ClipboardEvent instance in Chrome. But when I run the constructor: new ClipboardEvent("paste", {dataType: "text/plain", data: "some data"}) It throws the following error: Uncaught TypeError: Illegal constructor The constructor works as intended in Firefox. Checked MDN and W3C spec and they don't mention anything about it being illegal to create instances of ClipboardEvent. Is it possible to create an instance of ClipboardEvent in Chrome in any other way? I prefer to not mock a custom ClipboardEvent when one exists. Update 2018-07-17: Using the ClipboardEvent

We recently upgraded a very large project from .NET framework 3.5 to 4, and initially everything seemed to work the same. But now bugs have started to appear on copy paste operations. I have managed to make a small reproducible app, which shows the different behavior in .NET 3.5 and 4. I have also found a workaround (manually serialize the data to the clipboard), but I'm left with a need to know "why" there is a difference in behavior. This is the small test app I made: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary; using

How can I, using Python (2.7) get the contents of the Mac clipboard. Is there a better way than making a wrapper around pbpaste? Thanks! MagerValp PyObjC is the way to go: #!/usr/bin/python from AppKit import NSPasteboard, NSStringPboardType pb = NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard() pbstring = pb.stringForType_(NSStringPboardType) print u"Pastboard string: %s".encode("utf-8") % repr(pbstring) This only supports text and will return None otherwise. You can extend it to support other data types as well, see NSPastboard Class Reference . Have you looked at the xerox module? It is supposed to support

I do have to send a report regarding pasting some clipboard content into a web rich editor and I need a way to dump/restore the clipboard content to (probably) HTML. How can I do this? It seems that pbcopy / pbpaste do alway give me text even if I use the pbpaste -P rtf or pbpaste -P HTML chbrown Three years later, in more civilized times, we have Swift . You can write a short Swift script to pull exactly what you need off of OS X's pasteboard. Put the following Swift 4 snippet into a new text file. I named mine pbpaste.swift : import Cocoa let type = NSPasteboard.PasteboardType.html if let

I know this kind of question has been asked here for many times, including: How do I copy to the clipboard in JavaScript? or How to copy text to the client's clipboard using jQuery? , I'm narrowing the scope: Condition: works fine in Google Chrome (would be nice if cross-browser, but not necessary) with no flash Is there such a solution or workaround? You can use either document.execCommand('copy') or addEventListener('copy') , or a combination of both. 1. copy selection on custom event If you want to trigger a copy on some other event than ctrl-c or right click copy, you use document

需求描述： 通过JS实现将页面中的某个元素的数据复制到剪切板上。 需求分析： 要用JS实现最大的问题就是浏览器的兼容性问题了。而且最大的问题还是浏览器出于安全型的考虑，所以像chrome，Firefox等浏览器都不让访问。 解决方案： 最终的解决方案还是通过flash实现的，在网上搜索 （关键字：js access clipboard） 了一大堆的相关资料，但是这或许是唯一的解决方案了吧！真没想到，flash还是最终的解决方法。当有一天flash彻底被浏览器给抛弃了我想这又将是一大问题了。但是这个问题也不是我所需要担心的flash是否会被淘汰还是一个问题呢。 啰嗦了一大堆。现在开始说说具体的实现了吧。 现在又很多的实现js插件，有原生的js实现的，也有是通过jQuery来实现的方法都擦不多吧，但是都是会用到ZeroClipboard.swf。 相关的插件用： 1). ZeroClipboard github , ZeroClipboard官网 ，这个是javascript实现的，不需要jQuery的依赖的。 2). zclip官网 ，这个是jQuery的一个插件要依赖jQuery。 具体使用，其实很简单就是看官方文档，但是我在单独实现（我使用的是jQuery的zclip）时，存在一些问题，但是结合到项目中的时候就没有问题了，我认为的问题是,在设置path的时候可能存在问题，如下：
