The name "ctc" stands for copy text to clipboard. This is a binary crate.
ctc can copy its argument (as text) to the clipboard OR it can
copy the content of a text file to the clipboard.
``` $ ctc --help ctc (copy text to clipboard) v0.1.1
Usage examples:
Supported platforms: Windows and Linux (with X server).
Put ctc.exe to a folder that is in your PATH.
Example:
c:\> ctc hello.txt
Now the text "hello.txt" is copied to the clipboard.
ctc relies on the external command xclip to manipulate the content of the clipboard.
Thus, you must install xclip using your package manager (under Ubuntu it's
sudo apt install xclip).
Under Linux, there are two clipboards. They are called "primary" and "clipboard". ctc
puts the text on both of them, thus you can insert the text with one of the following
methods: Ctrl+v, Shift+Insert, or mouse middle click.
See the example above, it works similarly under Linux.
ctc is written in Rust. If you have the Rust compiler, you can install it directly
from crates.io using the command cargo:
$ cargo install jabba-ctc
