Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install devek

It will make the devek command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall devek uninstalls.

`devek`

Simple program to set HTML clipboard content

This should be a cross-platform way to set clipboard content from the command line, allowing you to set both text and HTML content. For some reason, pbcopy on MacOS doesn't copy RTF text correctly, so this is a workaround for this.

Examples

Set plain text content

devek --type text "Hello, World!"

Set HTML content

devek --type html "<b>Hello, World!</b>"

Pipe content from stdin

node -p '"Hello world".bold()' | devek --type html -

Usage: devek [--type <TYPE>] [--fallback <FALLBACK>] [CONTENT]

Arguments

`[CONTENT]`

HTML content to set in the clipboard. Use - or omit to read from stdin

Default: -

Flags

`--type <TYPE>`

Text content to set in the clipboard

By default, the content is set as HTML. Use --type text to set as plain text.

Choices:

text
html

`--fallback <FALLBACK>`

Fallback plaintext content for HTML clipboard entries
