A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What’s a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

    alias clip='xclip -selection clipboard'

    When you pipe to this, for example ls | clip, it will stick the output of the command ran into the clipboard without needing to manually copy the output.

      I use a KDE variant of this that uses klipper instead (whatever you pipe to this will be available in klipper):

      ` #!/bin/sh

      function copy {
    if ! tty -s && stdin=$(</dev/stdin) && [[ "$stdin" ]]; then
        stdin=$stdin$(cat)
        qdbus6 org.kde.klipper /klipper setClipboardContents "$stdin"
        exit
    fi

    qdbus6 org.kde.klipper /klipper getClipboardContents
}

copy $@`
