notesy::clipboard
Copying to the system clipboard, and reading what's on it. Copying takes
clipboard.write. Reading takes clipboard.read, which the approval shows
in red: what the user copies can be anything, a password included. A
script given only one of the two has only that function.
rustuse notesy::{clipboard, commands, log};
pub fn ready() {
commands::add("copy-date", "Copy the date", |command| clipboard::copy("2026-09-12"));
commands::add("measure-clipboard", "Measure the clipboard", |command| {
if let Some(text) = clipboard::paste() {
log::info(`${text.len()} characters on the clipboard`);
}
});
}
