Clipboard managers warper that SuperB

clipb is a SuperB clipboard managers warper written in portable sh that wraps various system-specific tools for interacting with a system clipboard.

When switch around Wayland and X.org, i realise my shell scripts that copy/paste text to and from clipboard are broken. So i strip the kakboard-autodetect function out into a standalone CLI clipboard managers warper call clipb to detect and interacting with any system clipboard.

Note Checkout clipb.kak, an extremely strip down fork of Kakboard.

• Work with tee like pipeline (e.g: ls | clipb | grep -e 'string')
• Supported clipboard managers are:
  • wl-clipboard
  • xclip
  • xsel
  • pbcopy, pbpaste
  • cygwin's /dev/clipboard

• Unix commands to process
• wl-clipboard for Wayland
• xclip or xsel for X.org
• termux-api for Termux
