* MAKEINIT: Remove bogus non-ascii character from comments * UPCSTATS: move to obsolete * GITFNS: better interface to process stream Now only looks at the process return code, gets all output only from redirected streams. Also offers to increase the diff.renameLimit if it is too small for the branch comparison. * COMPAREDIRECTORIES: reformat browser output The lengths are now in their own column. Also, the < and > are in different columns, to make it easier to pick out which side is newer. * CLIPBOARD.TXT: documented that it uses (SYSTEM-EXTERNALFORMAT) * GITFNS: Fixed a glitch in the renameLimit * GITFNS: Test for gh * COMPAREDIRECTORIES: Fix loadup record sequence * Don't overwrite fixed NCFILES in MEDLEY-UTILS * SKETCHOBJ and TEDIT-FILE already merged Co-authored-by: Larry Masinter <LMM@acm.org>

A small package that implements copy and paste to the system clipboard.
|
|
|
|
It arms meta-C for copy to the clipboard from the current selection of an application that has been armed (Tedit, Sedit), and also meta-X for extraction (copy followed by delete).
|
|
|
|
Meta-V is defined as an interrupt character that pastes the current clipboard contents into whatever process curent has input focus.
|
|
|
|
The information in the clipboard can be provided from or provided to external (non-Medley) applications (mail, emacs, etc.) in the usual way. For example, a form cselected in SEDIT can be copied to the clipboard and pasted into an email message.
|
|
|
|
It assumes that the external format of the clipboard is determined by (SYSTEM-EXTERNALFORMAT, and characters will be converted to and from the Medley internal character encoding.
|

The name of the clipboard stream may differ from platform to platform. On the Mac, the paste stream is "pbpaste" and the copy stream is "pbcopy". Those names are used if "darwin" is a substring of (UNIX-GETENV "ostype"). Otherwise both stream-names default to "xclip". The functions CLIPBOARD-COPY-STREAM and CLIPBOARD-PASTE-STREAM perform this selection.
