go-cpc-ctc

This repository contains two binary programs, namely cpc and ctc.

cpc

This is a Go implementation of the project https://github.com/jabbalaci/jabba-cpc .

The name "cpc" stands for copy path to clipboard.

cpc copies the path of the current working directory to the clipboard. If a parameter is given, it's also added to the path.

Supported platforms: Windows and Linux (with X server).

Installation

$ go install github.com/jabbalaci/go-cpc-ctc/cmd/cpc@latest

Help

$ cpc -h
cpc (copy path to clipboard) v0.1.0
https://github.com/jabbalaci/go-cpc-ctc

- copies the path of the current working directory to the clipboard
- if a parameter is given, it's also added to the path

Usage: cpc [option] [parameter]
where option can be:
    -h or --help            get this help

Windows

Example:

c:\> cd c:\download

c:\download> cpc

Now the current directory's path, "c:\download" is copied to the clipboard.

c:\download> cpc tree.jpg

Now the absolute path of the given file, "c:\download\tree.jpg" is copied to the clipboard.

Linux

cpc relies on the external command xsel to manipulate the content of the clipboard. Thus, you must install xsel using your package manager (under Ubuntu it's sudo apt install xsel).

See the example above, it works similarly under Linux.

ctc

This is a Go implementation of the project https://github.com/jabbalaci/jabba-ctc .

The name "ctc" stands for copy text to clipboard.

ctc can copy its argument (as text) to the clipboard OR it can copy the content of a text file to the clipboard.

Installation

$ go install github.com/jabbalaci/go-cpc-ctc/cmd/ctc@latest

Help

$ ctc -h
ctc (copy text to clipboard) v0.1.0
https://github.com/jabbalaci/go-cpc-ctc

Usage examples:

* ctc                   print this help
* ctc -h, ctc --help    print this help
* ctc <text>            copy the given text to clipboard
* ctc -f <file>         copy the content of the given file to clipboard

Windows

Examples:

c:\> ctc hello.txt

Now the text "hello.txt" is copied to the clipboard.

c:\> ctc -f hello.txt

Now the content of the text file is copied to the clipboard.

Linux

ctc relies on the external command xsel to manipulate the content of the clipboard. Thus, you must install xsel using your package manager (under Ubuntu it's sudo apt install xsel).

See the example above, it works similarly under Linux.
