Question
I'm working on a Gnome Shell Extensions and I can't find any documentation on how to copy some string into the clipboard for the user.
I searched the Gnome extensions git but without any success.
Thank you for your help! :)
Solution
to set the primary clipboard:
St.Clipboard.get_default().set_text(St.ClipboardType.PRIMARY, 'text');
to get the primary clipboard:
St.Clipboard.get_default().get_text(St.ClipboardType.PRIMARY);
There also is the St.ClipboardType.CLIPBOARD
buffer.
