Feature: Add parameter text to clipboard

Open Golutazem opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

This is a feature request to add the text of a parameter or parameters to the clipboard or selection. The text of the parameter itself would be added -- not a file or input identified by it.

I agree that sounds like a good idea and should be easy to implement. I don't know if the author of xclip would accept it, though.

In the meantime, here's an ugly workaround using Bash's "Here Strings":

xclip <<< "I am not a fish."
