terminal-clipboard is a cross-platform clipboard library focused on strings copying and pasting for terminal applications:
If this doesn't match your requirements, don't hesitate to search for another crate: there are many ones with other goals.
[dependencies]
terminal_clipboard = "0.2"
use terminal_clipboard;
terminal_clipboard::set_string("test").unwrap();
assert_eq!("test", terminal_clipboard::get_string().unwrap());
A specific implementation is available, defering to the Termux API facilities to access the Android clipboard.
You may either enable it statically (at compile time), or choose it dynamically (which may be useful when the same binary is used in several contexts).
This is done by compiling with the "termux" feature:
TOML
terminal-clipboard = { version="0.2", features=["termux"] }
In such a case, terminal_clipboard::get_string and terminal_clipboard::set_string are the Termux implementations.
If you don't enable the "termux" feature, terminal_clipboard::get_string and terminal_clipboard::set_string are the linux or windows implementations and you can decide to call the termux one by calling terminal_clipboard::termux::get_string and terminal_clipboard::termux::set_string.
If a unix-like target is detected and the "termux" feature isn't enabled, terminal-clipboard uses the x11-clipboard crate. If you're only interested in this platform, you should use this crate directly.
You'll need to have xorg-dev and libxcb-composite0-dev to compile.
On Debian and Ubuntu you can install them with
sudo apt install xorg-dev libxcb-composite0-dev
If the compilation target is "windows", terminal-clipboard uses the clipboard-win crate. If you're only interested in this platform, you should use this crate directly.
