You can always call the same system functions from D that you'd use from C. This is the source to my simpledisplay.d library on its clipboard function: https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/simpledisplay.d#L5279 The Windows side isn't too bad, the linux side a bit more complicated. Generally window libs offer something for this but idk about the one you're using.

So I thought there may be a way in D to communicate with the system clipboard...
