Add copy to clipboard from IPython! | |
To install, just copy it to your profile/startup directory, typically: | |
~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/ | |
Example usage: | |
%clip hello world | |
# will store "hello world" | |
a = [1, 2, 3] | |
%clip a | |
# will store "[1, 2, 3]" | |
You can also use it with cell magic | |
In [1]: %%clip | |
...: Even multi | |
...: lines | |
...: work! | |
...: | |
If you don't have a variable named 'clip' you can rely on automagic: | |
clip hey man | |
a = [1, 2, 3] | |
clip a | |

One of the features I was looking forward with Ipython is to copy selected lines from history to my code editor with out using mouse. I have added one more function in your program to copy history of selected line to clipboard. I have made modification in two places in the history.py file of Ipython. If any of you can guide, I would like to push / pass it to the developers.
I made a fork that supports python3: https://gist.github.com/cphyc/47d7dbe756fc2d16d05f6271f647fd03. It's just a matter of adding ()
around the print statement…
Just to note that for most cases following alias will be enough:
alias ck echo "$$_" | pbcopy
Blast from the past - I just went searching for "how to setup a copy-to-clipboard in IPython like I used to have...and found this, with my previous comments". Thanks to other contributors for their updates too. I'll just verify that using this with my suggestions above on Linux, works for Python 3.11 with IPython 8.10. xsel
needs to be installed as a system package and -ib
is a better choice on Linux.
