[Ranger-users] Suggestion for added command

[Michael Longval]

Hi there.

Enjoying “ranger” very much. 

Integrates well with my MacOS/Homebrew/Vim/zsh/tmux stack.

I added a command to my .config/ranger/commands.py file:

from subprocess import call

class clip(Command):

    """:clip

    Copy the contents of file to Mac clipboard using /usr/bin/pbcopy

    """

    def execute(self):

        theFile = self.fm.thisfile.path

        theCommand = "cat " + theFile + " | /usr/bin/pbcopy"

        call(theCommand, shell=True)

    def tab(self):

        return self._tab_directory_content()

I know that this only works on MacOS, I guess that someone could just add a version for “xclip”.

Thanks again for a great program.

Mike
