Can you help me ?

From the pyperclip docs, regarding Linux support:

On Linux, this module makes use of the xclip or xsel commands, which should come with the os. Otherwise run “sudo apt-get install xclip” or “sudo apt-get install xsel” (Note: xsel does not always seem to work.)

I suggest you try installing either xclip or xsel. Please let me know if it worked.

I'll fix the application crash in a future release. Thanks!

[BenjaminMinguy]

I already installed xclip (and xsel too) but it is not working. I would like to copy some informations ( for terraform input for exemple) and copy or right click in windows does not working.

But it is a good tools, thanks very much.

Thanks for your feedback

[idoavrah]

Can you elaborate on your setup? Is it a Linux box? Some kind of a remote shell?

[BenjaminMinguy]

Yes, i am on linux ubuntu 20.04, shell bash, it is a virtual machine.

[idoavrah]

Sadly, it turns out it's not feasible. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51662213/cant-get-pyperclip-to-use-copy-and-paste-modules-on-python3

I managed to duplicate the issue, running TFTUI on my raspberrypi. Same issue :/

[BenjaminMinguy]

hum, ok, then i should upgrade my workstation... :'(

However, would it be possible to allow selection with the cursor to copy and paste a selection in a future version?

[idoavrah]

You can select parts of the text while holding a modifier key (depends on the terminal type and o/s):

• iTerm Hold the OPTION key.
• Gnome Terminal Hold the SHIFT key.
• Windows Terminal Hold the SHIFT key.

Selecting multiple lines can introduce some extra characters. I'll consider adding a "full screen" toggle the help with this issue. Hope this helps.

[BenjaminMinguy]

Yeah it's Work, thanks very much

[idoavrah]

Fixed in v0.12.6
