I want to be able to listen for clipboard events (the copy event more precisely) in node.js.
I've already used windows keyboard hooks in java... so I'm already a bit familiar with the topic.
And as I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 as my main OS, I'm most interested in a Ubuntu Desktop solution. (but I'd still love to know how to accomplish this for a Windows system too)
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jochen
I suggest you look at the node-clipboard module and continually listen for changes to the clipboard using callbacks. Something like:
var clipboard = ""
function listenClipboard(){
var new_clip = getClipboard()
if (new_clip !== clipboard) {
clipboard = new_clip
handleClipboardChange(clipboard)
}
setTimeout(listenClipboard, 100)
}
You can try installing my npm package Use clipboard-event
const clipboardListener = require('clipboard-event');
// To start listening
clipboardListener.startListening();
clipboardListener.on('change', () => {
console.log('Clipboard changed');
});
// To stop listening
clipboardListener.stopListening();
Thank you.
