  • I'm unaware of many programs that actually respect $NO_COLOR. Certainly `ls` and `grep`, the two programs I use the most which display colored output, don't respect that environment variable. `ag` doesn't respect it either. In fact, the only program I use on a semi-regular basis which respects $NO_COLOR is `fd`. All the rest expect a `--no-color` command line parameter to disable colorized output. Given that, I'm wondering why the authors chose to control output colorization with an environment variable, rather than a command line argument.

  • Similar tool support Windows and OSX: https://github.com/b1tg/pickup

  • piknik

    Copy/paste anything over the network.

  • oneclipboard

    Copy/Paste text between Android device and Desktop easily

  • Though not exactly the same, I did create a project for easy sharing of clipboard https://github.com/krishnaraj/oneclipboard. Lost interest after background Clipboard access was restricted in Android 10 or something.

  • vim-oscyank

    A Vim plugin to copy text through SSH with OSC52

  • Yes OSC 52 is very handy for vim over SSH: instead of X11 forwarding - you can just yank text from remote vim into the local clipboard using OSC 52 [1].

    Overall it's much quicker - as yanking in vim with X11 forwarding and '+clipboard' sometimes had a delay.

    (ps: I think OSC 52 is implemented in xterm and URXVT, but not yet in gnome-terminal)

  • remote-development-manager

    tooling that makes development easier in remote environments like ssh and codespaces

  • I use https://github.com/BlakeWilliams/remote-development-manager for this. If youโ€™re willing to add some aliases and editor config you can easily get a UX that feels like a unified clipboard across remote hosts.
