Useful for things like #497.

Afaik the best clipboard script is https://github.com/CogentRedTester/mpv-clipboard, which we could use as a reference (or optional dependency).

Nope, it's unnecessary. Just copy the code from console. The script you mentioned did the same work.

True, I forgot that it got that from console.

That's a perfect job for ziggy! I'll extend it with set-clipboard and get-clipboard commands. That's going to be way more stable and instant, as opposed to spawning powershell scripts, which is really slow on windows.

I tested the clipboard function using the console on Windows and it doesn't seem to be slow. I'm curious about what the testing benchmark is.

[hooke007]

It doesn't respond the input immediately on Win. But it isn't slow for common usage.

Powershell is slow to launch if it hasn't been launched recently.
I agree that a custom program would be more responsive, but it's also a lot of work. On Linux, there's no universal concept of a clipboard afaik. It's different on wayland and x11, and clipboard managers exist. Seems there's a go library for it :^)

I can reproduce it.

Yeah and even after powershell "warms up" it's still around half a second to paste (at least for me). With ziggy it's perceptually instant.
