A Go library providing simple cross-platform clipboard access for copying and pasting UTF-8 text. It also ships gocopy and gopaste command-line utilities for shell-based clipboard operations.

Use cases

  • copy text to the system clipboard from a Go program
  • paste clipboard contents into a Go application
  • read and write clipboard across macOS, Windows, and Linux
  • pipe shell output to the clipboard with gocopy
  • dump clipboard contents to a file with gopaste

When to choose

  • you need simple text-only clipboard access in Go across major platforms
  • you want lightweight shell commands to copy or paste from the command line
  • your app only needs UTF-8 text, not images or rich content

When to avoid

  • you need image, file, or rich-content clipboard support
  • you need clipboard change watching or event notifications
  • on Linux you cannot rely on xclip or xsel being installed
