# EasyClip
[](https://github.com/kojix2/easyclip/actions/workflows/test.yml)
[](https://tokei.kojix2.net/github/kojix2/easyclip)
Crystal module for clipboard interaction.
## Installation
Add to `shard.yml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
easyclip:
github: kojix2/easyclip
```
Run `shards install`
## Usage
```crystal
require "easyclip"
# Copy 'text' to clipboard
EasyClip.copy("text")
# Paste text from the clipboard
str = EasyClip.paste
```
### Linux
Detects the current session and available tools at runtime:
- Wayland: `wl-copy` / `wl-paste`, then X11/XWayland fallbacks
- X11 copy: `xsel`
- X11 paste: `xclip`, then `xsel`
- WSL: `clip.exe` (copy), `powershell.exe` (paste)
- Termux: `termux-clipboard-set` / `termux-clipboard-get`
Install what fits your session, e.g. `sudo apt install wl-clipboard xclip xsel`.
Commands come from a fixed allowlist, run without a shell, and receive text via stdin.
### macOS
Uses the native `NSPasteboard` API directly. It does not spawn `pbcopy` or
`pbpaste`.
### Windows
Uses the native Win32 clipboard API (`CF_UNICODETEXT`): no child process, no
trailing-newline quirk. WSL runs as a Linux binary and uses the Linux fallbacks
above instead.
