Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The ``fish_clipboard_paste`` function copies text from the system clipboard.
|
|
|
|
If its stdout is not a terminal (see :doc:`isatty <isatty>`), it will output everything there, as-is, without any additional newlines. If it is, it will put the text in the commandline instead.
|
|
|
|
If it outputs to the commandline, it will automatically escape the output if the cursor is currently inside single-quotes so it is suitable for single-quotes (meaning it escapes ``'`` and ``\\``).
|
|
|
|
It is bound to :kbd:`Control`\ +\ :kbd:`V` by default.
|
|
|
|
``fish_clipboard_paste`` works by calling a system-specific backend. If it doesn't appear to work you may need to install yours.
|
|
|
|
Currently supported are:
|
|
|
|
- ``pbpaste``
|
|
- ``wl-paste`` using wayland
|
|
- ``xsel`` and ``xclip`` for X11
|
|
- ``powershell.exe`` on Windows (this backend has encoding limitations and uses windows line endings that ``fish_clipboard_paste`` undoes)
|
|
|
