clipr 0.8.0

• Add handlers for using the clipboard on systems using Wayland via wl-clipboard. Thank you to @nacnudus for the PR.
• For R >= 4.2, write_clip() calls on Windows are modified to work well with R’s shift to supporting UTF-8 as a native encoding on Windows. Thank you to @yutannihilation for the PR. Read more here: https://github.com/mdlincoln/clipr/issues/62
• Moved CI off of Travis and on to GitHub Actions
• Clipr now has a pkgdown site at https://matthewlincoln.net/clipr/

clipr 0.7.1

• Call xsel with the --output flag, which prevents RStudio from hanging when calling clipr functions on a system running certain Linux window managers. Thank you to @cgillespie and @kevinushey for identifying the bug and the solution, and to @hannahcgunderman for help in testing.

clipr 0.7.0

Thank you to @jennybc for prompting these changes:

• Before attempting to read/write form the clipboard, clipr_available() will first explicitly check if it is being run non-interactively, and if so, if the CLIPR_ALLOW environment variable has been set. This will hopefully prevent starting spurious Linux processes during CRAN tests.
• Out of an abundance of caution, read_clip() now does the same interactive/envvar check that write_clip() does.
• Some documentation clarifications

clipr 0.6.0

Thank you to @wangyuchen for making the following suggestions:

• To make clipr more pipe-friendly, write_clip() now defaults to return_new = FALSE, and will instead return the initial object that was passed in. To get the old behavior, pass return_new = TRUE

• In an effort to make write_clip() and read_clip_tbl() more symmetrical, write_clip() now defaults to writing out row and column names when they exist.

• Introduces write_last_clip(), a wrapper function for write_clip(.Last.value)

clipr 0.5.0

• To comply with CRAN policy, write_clip() will now error by default if run in a non-interactive session. Non-interactive use must be explicitly enabled by setting an environment variable CLIPR_ALLOW=TRUE.

• Documented that the default behavior when writing matrices to write_clip() is col.names = FALSE

clipr 0.4.1

• Correct a formatting error by adding and separation character to tables when they are being written with rownames.

clipr 0.4.0

• Introduces dr_clipr(), which gives informative suggestions for software and configuration requirements when accessing the clipboard on X11-based systems.

clipr 0.3.3

• Due to poor testing and configuration options, clipr was not delivering on its promised support for xsel :( This has now been fixed, with more complete Travis tests, and some core fixes by @milesmcbain.

clipr 0.3.2

• Suppress an erroneous warning on OS X / X11 systems when trying to write an empty string to the clipboard.

• Fix error when NA is passed to write_clip(). This will now write "NA" to the clipboard.

• Fix error when passing NULL or an empty vector (e.g. character(0)). This will now write "" to the clipboard.

clipr 0.3.1

• Fixes a breaking bug that caused clipr_available to erroneously return FALSE. Thank you to @krivit for catching this.

• Introduces better testing of clipr_available to properly evaluate it on Travis CI.

clipr 0.3.0

• Introduces clipr_available which checks to see if the system clipboard is writeable/readable. This may be useful if you are developing a package that relies on clipr and need to ensure that it will skip tests on machines (e.g.  CRAN, Travis) where the system clipboard may not be available. Thank you to @jennybc for this suggestion.

  • Implements genuine testing of clipr functionality with thanks to some deft environment variable settings added by @jennybc.

  • Two RStudio addins: one to copy the value returned when a highlighted expression is evaluated, and another that copies the console output.

  clipr 0.2.1

  • Introduces read_clip_tbl, a convenience function that takes tab-delimited text from read_clip (such as that copied from a spreadsheet) and parses it with read.table. Thank you to Steve Simpson (@data-steve) for the original PR.

  • write_clip(object_type = "table") has a new internal implementation (writing to a temporary file rather than using capture.output) which should dramatically shorten the time it takes to write very large tables to the clipboard. Thank you to @r2evans for this suggestion.

  clipr 0.2.0

  • Several changes to write_clip - The separator to be used when writing a character vector can now be explicitly declared using breaks. breaks=NULL will default to system-specific line breaks for both vectors and tables. - write_clip will default to formatting data.frames and matrices with write.table, allowing easy pasting of tabular objects into programs like Excel. Option object_type="auto" will check the object type to decide on the correct formatting, or the user may explicitly state object_type="table" or object_type="character". - clipr will default to sane system-specific options for write.table(), however you may pass any custom desired options via write_clip - return_new=TRUE (the default behavior) will return the formatted character string that was passed to the system clipboard, while write_clip(return_new=FALSE) will return the original object.

  • Introduces clear_clip, a wrapper function for write_clip("") for easy clearing of the system clipboard.

  clipr 0.1.1

  • Bug fix that removes the explicit test for “Linux” in favor of a check for “xclip” or “xsel”

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
