COPY/PASTE doesn't work in CYGWIN #1596
Comments
I think we can modify the |
compared to adding "open URL in browser" and "copy to clipboard" "paste from clipboard" into Maiko? |
We currently have
but, for example, Termux on Android looks like Linux as far as the compile goes, today, but doesn't behave like desktop Linux for things like copy/paste (as far as I know). We don't have Haiku in there yet, but that's easy. We don't distinguish between the Linux distros, or know whether the user is running w/ SDL, X11, Wayland, ... and what effect that has on the copy/paste/open operations. Someone with the inclination could put together the list/matrix of possibilities. |
I see what you mean. |
Yes. First step is deciding what info we need from get-param -- I think we currently have "DISPLAY" which will return "X", "SDL", [or perhaps once in the past, "BUFFERED", or "DIRECT"]. It's easy to include the OS that we detected during compilation, though as I mentioned that won't get all the cases -- but when we find things that don't work we can see what additional dimensions we need to differentiate among them. I suggest returning the value of MAIKO_OS_NAME (from maiko/inc/maiko/platform.h) for get_parm("OSNAME"), and the value of MAIKO_ARCH_NAME (same source) for get_parm("ARCH") -- but I'm happy to take other suggestions. |
sh: line 1: xclip: command not found
it looks like you need to use getclip and putclip from the "cygwin-utils" suite of utilities from cygwin, and modify CLIPBOARD-PASTE-STREAM etc.
We need to establish a better way of determining host OS type?
