rust copy to clipboard
To copy text to the clipboard in Rust, you can use the clipboard
crate. First, add the clipboard
crate to your Cargo.toml
file:
[dependencies]
clipboard = "0.6"
Then, in your Rust code, you can use the ClipboardContext
struct from the clipboard
crate to interact with the clipboard. Here's an example that copies a string to the clipboard:
use clipboard::ClipboardContext;
use clipboard::ClipboardProvider;
fn main() {
// Create a new clipboard context
let mut ctx: ClipboardContext = ClipboardProvider::new().unwrap();
// String to copy to the clipboard
let text = "Hello, world!";
// Copy the string to the clipboard
ctx.set_contents(text.to_owned()).unwrap();
}
Make sure to import the necessary types from the clipboard
crate and handle any potential errors that may occur.
Please note that the clipboard
crate may have different versions available, so make sure to check the latest version and update your Cargo.toml
accordingly.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
