🎀 XPASTE(1x) 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the XPASTE(1x) manual page. the whole vibe is xpaste — paste text into X windows that don't work with selections. periodt. vibe check: passed. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

literally this, no cap:

xpaste <<EOF
This text will be pasted into a window of your choosing.
EOF

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so xpaste will read the text to paste from standard input, keep it in memory, and wait for you to press ENTER. When you do, it pastes the held text into the newly focused window. the way that works is lowkey iconic. ✨

It alleviates situations where you need to long or paste hard to type text into X applications that do not work with the selection/clipboard. fr fr, that's the whole rescue mission, and we're obsessed ngl. 🫶
