cacooclip

Fork of Changkun Ou's golang-design/clipboard that handles clipboard data from Chrome with Cacoo Editor's custom web MIME type, on MacOS only.

Yes, it is very specialized to work on my machine. It might or might not support more OS'es and browsers in the future.

Features

The Cacoo Editor supports copy and paste of shapes to/from the system clipboard by using a custom MIME type. When you CTRL+C a shape, you can only CTRL+V it in the Cacoo Editor. The cacooclip program allows you to read the raw shape data from the clipboard and output it as JSON text.

Usage

This fork is designed as a command line program or as a library.

Command line:

go install github.com/vibridi/cacooclip/cmd/cacooclip@latest

or from the cloned repo:

$ make build

then move the binary into your path. Copy a shape from the Cacoo Editor then run:

$ cacooclip -r

The command will print the Cacoo shape data to stdout. To write data, select and copy the shape data as JSON text and (on MacOS) run:

$ pbpaste | cacooclip -w

Library:

$ go get github.com/vibridi/cacooclip

and then call it as:

str, err := cacooclip.Read()
if err != nil {
	// ...
}
err = cacooclip.Write(str)
if err != nil {
	// ...
}
