mime-copy

A dead-simple utility for copying URLs passed to xdg-open.

Features

• Copy opened URLs to clipboard
• Notify the user via D-Bus

Installing

from source

Run just install inside the repository root. The binary will be installed to $HOME/.local/bin/ and the Desktop entry placed in $HOME/.local/share/applications/. Alternatively, run just install-http If you want to automatically set up the example configuration and copy HTTP/HTTPs URLs.

If you want to set any other handlers, you can do so using the xdg-mime CLI.

• For example: xdg-mime default mime-copy.desktop x-scheme-handler/ssh x-scheme-handler/telnet would set up copying of URLs with the ssh and telnet schemes.
