xclip defaults to the X11 primary selection. To use the "clipboard" |
| 33 |
selection, try |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
xclip -selection clipboard -in test.txt |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
To make sure this command works, you can run it in a terminal emulator |
| 38 |
and then check if ctrl+V pastes what you want in another program. But |
| 39 |
for the automation part, you must put the command somewhere else (such |
| 40 |
as the autostart feature Andrew mentioned). |
