I'm trying to avoid _costly_ shelling out to pbcopy/pbpaste.
import osproc, strutils
proc pbpaste() : string =
var exitCode: int;
(result, exitCode) = execCmdEx "pbpaste"
proc pbcopy(content: string) =
discard execCmd "echo " & content.replace("\"","\\\"") & "| pbcopy"
if isMainModule:
pbcopy "This is very \"special\""
echo pbpaste()
Run
It see a **nimble** package:
[Nimclipboard](https://github.com/genotrance/nimclipboard) which looks to be a
wrapper for [libclipboard](https://github.com/jtanx/libclipboard) which claims
to support _OS X (Cocoa)_
But it doesn't install successfully :-(
Any other suggestions?
