Clipboard.GetText() always returns empty string in Mono on Mac

Question

Is there a way to get the clipboard on a Mac in Mono that doesn\'t return an empty string? This is using the latest NON-beta version of mono.

Clipboard.SetText(Strin

Answer 1

The solution ended up being to use NSPasteboard on mac. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSPasteboard_Class/Reference/Reference.html

I could not ever get Clipboard to return anything. Mono has wrappers around NSPasteboard so it ended up being pretty easy this way.
