Copy to Clipboard through SSH

Is there a way to set the current n900 clipboard (copy/paste) through an ssh session?

A little further explanation, I make a lot of use of ssh sessions to my device and quite often I'd like to send some text (a link , get to a web page, etc.) that I have running on my laptop to use it in conversations or browser.

Is there a specific file where the clipboard resides that I can overwrite? or is this solely in memory?

Re: Copy to Clipboard through SSH

You can try the following bit of code. Copy this to a file (for example copy_clipboard.py), and run it like:

Code:

python copy_clipboard.py "This will be copied to the clipboard"

Code:

import gtk

import sys



arg = sys.argv[1]



def receive(clipboard, text, data):

    gtk.main_quit()



clip = gtk.clipboard_get()

clip.request_text(receive)

clip.set_text(arg)



gtk.main()

Re: Copy to Clipboard through SSH

wow, that felt good and worked perfectly.
I'm learning python but don't know the ins-and-outs GTK yet.

Thank you, Slocan.
