Terminal to Clipboard (cody)

Forked from Copy/Pipe From Terminal

Copy from vscode's integrated terminal to clipboard over remote-ssh sessions. Forked from Babak K. Shandiz's Copy/Pipe From Terminal

Use cody

This is simply done by piping the output of any shell command to the cody like:

ls ~ | cody

Copy/Pipe data

To copy/pipe data from the integrated terminal into a new editor/tab, follow these steps:

1. Open a new integrated terminal (Ctrl+`).

2. Prepare the output stream you'd like to copy into VS Code and pipe into to cody. For example something like this:

   ls -1 / | sort | cody
   

ℹ️ You may see an unknown command (something like _bp=...) being executed in the newly opened terminal window. That's all OK. It's just the definition of a shell function named cody (and tee2code), which does the copy/pipe procedure. 🍏

ℹ️ I tried to hide the command using some ANSI terminal control codes, but it is not the most portable solution in the world (e.g. only works in xterm, and doesn't consider terminal size etc.)

Toggle ON/OFF

You can toggle ON/OFF the extension via the Terminal to Clipboard: Toggle (Enable/Disable) command. You can also do this via the settings UI or JSON file (terminal-to-clipboard.enabled).

Change alias name

ℹ️ You can change the alias to something other than cody, with the following:

⚠️ For now, this extension is just available for UNIX-compatible systems (Linux & macOS).
