xclip VS displayplacer

I find it so annoying that these only work with plain text and RTF. On X11 there is `xclip`[0] and on Wayland there is `wl-clipboard`[1] both of which support binary file formats either through parsing the header or explicitly setting the MIME type.

This means you can do things like copy an image from the terminal and paste it into a graphical program like a browser or chat client and vice-versa. Also can be very useful in shell scripts for desktop automation.

The workaround on MacOS is to use AppleScript via `osascript` to `set the clipboard to...`.

This reminds me of xclip.

I haven't used it in a while but xclip is a thing for X11 and you can create your own keyboard shortcuts and present a window with zenity or something.

This is apparently an issue with xclip, not Neovim: https://github.com/astrand/xclip/issues/38

Lately I've become a big fan of Micro. It's as portable as Nano. By default it uses the same shortcuts as typical desktop programs: Ctrl-S for save, Ctrl-Q for quit, Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V for copy/paste, etc. It integrates well with Linux desktops' clipboards by optionally using xclip. Just like Nano, it can have multiple files open for easy copy/pasting between files. But the best thing of all is that its scripting/plugin system is plain old Lua 5.1.

Requires: xclip

How about displayplacer?

It's not something that I've tried. There was a user report at the bottom of this GitHub issue that states sidecar rotation does not work.

Alfred + "Display Placer" extension is the easiest/free way to go. You'll need to install the "Display Placer" open source app beforehand (here).

If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can install displayplacer from their releases tab:https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer/releases

Sure, here you have it https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer

Install DisplayPlacer. I use it along with Alfred (but you can trigger it many different ways). It's great for multi-monitor setups.

You can't do it with AppleScript, but there are other scripting options. A handy utility already exists though called DisplayPlacer. If you install that homebrew package, you can then create a shortcut to call SSH scripts. You'd even be able to save different display arrangements in the shortcut and call a specific one depending on where you place your iPad that day.

I’ve gave up solving the issue, but I do get around the issue by making use of https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer and assigning it to a hot key via Automator.
