TermuxC 2.0.9

A lightweight utility to copy text to the device clipboard using OSC 52.

TermuxC

Termux copy to clipboard made easy.

Also known as TermuxCopy

This dual function pip package/cli tool was made to solve an issue with Termux, not allowing copying to device clipboard easily without their companion app. This package solves that.

Cli Tool Usage:

Copy text

termux text

Or

echo "test" | termuxc

Copy text from file

cat filename | termuxc

Copy current working directory

pwd | termuxc

Also compatable with

• bat
• grep
• curl
• head
• tail

Pip package Usage:

Copy text

from TermuxC import Copy
Copy("Str") #works with strings,
Copy(1) # numbers
Copy(1.3) # and floats!

Copy text from file

from TermuxC import Copy
with open("TermuxC.py", "r") as f:
    content = f.read()
    Copy(content)

Copy current working directory

from TermuxC import Copy
import os
Copy(os.getcwd())
