Clipboard

On supported platforms (macOS, X11, Wayland) nchat uses the system clipboard. For other platforms, or custom behavior, one may configure below parameters in app.conf.

Note: The examples provided below are mainly for reference, not useful as actual configuration values (except the File-based examples), as the main platforms should work with the built-in support in nchat.

clipboard_copy_command

Specifies a custom copy (and cut) command to be used instead of system clipboard. Examples:

Platform Command
File-based tee ~/.clipboard
macOS pbcopy
Wayland wl-copy
X11 xclip -selection clipboard

clipboard_has_image_command

Specifies a custom command for checking if the clipboard contains an image. The command shall output 1 if image is present, otherwise 0. Examples:

Platform Command
Wayland wl-paste --list-types | grep -m1 'image/png' | wc -l

clipboard_paste_command

Specifies a custom paste command to be used instead of system clipboard. Examples:
