jupyterlab-terminal-clipboard-extension 1.0.3

Jupyterlab extension to handle copy to clipboard actions in a terminal to allow copy to clipboard of the browser/user

jupyterlab_terminal_clipboard_extension

[!TIP] This extension is part of the stellars_jupyterlab_extensions metapackage. Install all Stellars extensions at once: pip install stellars_jupyterlab_extensions

Copy to clipboard from JupyterLab terminal sessions. Intercepts OSC 52 escape sequences and routes them to the browser clipboard. Also auto-installs drop-in shims for xclip, xsel, and wl-copy so programs like pass-cli, vim, and tmux can copy to clipboard without an X11 display.

terminal app -> xclip/xsel (shim) -> OSC 52 -> extension -> browser clipboard

Features

• OSC 52 clipboard interception - captures clipboard escape sequences from terminal output
• Auto-installing shims - deploys xclip, xsel, wl-copy replacements to ~/.local/bin/ on startup when real tools are not functional (no display server)
• Smart detection - preserves real clipboard tools when they work, only installs shims when needed

Installation

Requires JupyterLab 4.0.0 or higher.

pip install jupyterlab_terminal_clipboard_extension

Ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH for the shims to work:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Uninstall

pip uninstall jupyterlab_terminal_clipboard_extension
