clipboard, where is it?

clipboard, where is it?

[David Sexton]

Is there any way to access the text of the speakup copy command?
Would like to copy something in console and then get it back in gnome

Currently there isn't, but this issue has been brought up before.

I just thought of something about this.  I wonder if we could make it
readable as a sys file some how?  If we could do that could you get it into
gnome?

One thing that has come up before and I have it installed here on my
box is a program called xclip.  The best we can do right now is cut
with the speakup cut/paste feature and then open up a shell or use the
current shell to use xclip and paste from the speakup into the
clipboard.  Once sclip has the contents, you can go into any gnome
application and use the conventional clipboard retrieval methods to
get that contents.

I don't know how easy it would be to do, but if there were a way to pipe
the contents of the speakup clipboard into this application, maybe we
would have something.  I've heard of system pipes; is it possible to
some hook such a thing to this application and all speakup would need
to do is export the contents of the buffer into this pipe? I'm
thinking of pressing the paste key and have the output routed to this
pipe or something instead of putting it to the screen.

Does any of this make sense?

clipboard, where is it?

[Hart Larry]

Actually, I've always thought having a choice of console specific or global 
would be nice.  Many times if I must cut-and-paste, I paste my contents in 
nano, so I can re-use a paste.

Well, and it just occurred to me that you could use a standardized
file and save multiple pastes in there and when you pop over to gnome
have a shortcut or link to this file and open up with gedit or
something and cut/paste all day long in gnome.  AFAIK, one could only
paste one thing at a time into the clipboard but this file method,
though crude as it may sound, does allow for stacking multiple
potential clipboard entries.
