|

echo hooray | kitty +kitten clipboard
|

All text received on :file:`stdin` is copied to the clipboard.

All text received on :file:`STDIN` is copied to the clipboard.
|
||||
|
||||
To get text from the clipboard you have to enable reading of the clipboard
|
||||
in :opt:`clipboard_control` in :file:`kitty.conf`. Once you do that, you can
|

use::
|
||||
To get text from the clipboard::
|
||||
|
||||
kitty +kitten clipboard --get-clipboard
|
||||
|
||||
The text will be written to :file:`STDOUT`. Note that by default kitty asks for
|
||||
permission when a program attempts to read the clipboard. This can be
|
||||
controlled via :opt:`clipboard_control`.

Support for copying arbitrary data types
|
||||
|
||||
The clipboard kitten can be used to send/receive
|
||||
more than just plain text from the system clipboard. You can transfer arbitrary
|
||||
data types. Best illustrated with some examples::
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy an image to the clipboard:
|
||||
kitty +kitten clipboard picture.png
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy an image and some text to the clipboard:
|
||||
kitty +kitten clipboard picture.jpg text.txt
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy text from STDIN and an image to the clipboard:
|
||||
echo hello | kitty +kitten clipboard picture.png /dev/stdin
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy any raster image available on the clipboard to a PNG file:
|
||||
kitty +kitten clipboard -g picture.png
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy an image to a file and text to STDOUT:
|
||||
kitty +kitten clipboard -g picture.png /dev/stdout
|
||||
|
||||
Normally, the kitten guesses MIME types based on the file names. To control the
|
||||
MIME types precisely, use the :option:`--mime <kitty +kitten clipboard --mime>` option.
