Allow clipboard paste to terminal

[mitchplze]

Currently I am unable to paste clipboard contents (commands) to the Dockge terminal in Safari 17.1 on MacOS.

[cirrusflyer]

Same here. Definitely need this ability.

Any update on this?

Same in Firefox 122. Ubuntu 2204.

I am looking forward to this too!

Another updoot from my side aswell!

xtermjs (which is used for the therminal here) has this feature. Maybe, you just need to update the dependency.

How do I do this?

Looks like you need to add the xterm adddon: https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/tree/master/addons/addon-clipboard

I need this feature.

We all do lol. Has the owner of this project abandoned it or something?

I think he's focusing on uptime kuma at the moment, for me uptime kuma is working perfectly and doesn't need any more improvements, but dockge can be improved a lot

There is a slightly janky but reliable workaround for this issue (actually works in any app lacking clipboard paste support). It is specific to Linux host with x11.

TLDR; run sh -c 'sleep 2; xdotool type "$(xclip -o -selection clipboard)"' in the host local terminal then you have 2 seconds to click in the Dockge terminal and it will "paste" by typing out the clipboard contents. Adjust the sleep time if you need to. Better yet, bind it to a hotkey.

thx for the idea, usually I would also think of such a command, but I didn't for some unknown reason

[kbsmidt]

Copy/paste functionality in the Dockge terminal will definitely elevate Dockge to new heights.

[InnocentRain]

I absolutly agree, this is a massive QOL improvement :)

[SIlver--]

Looks like it's in the pull requests, so should hopefully be accepted soon

Couldn't get xclip and xdotool to work, but they led me to this script.

This is what worked for me. It allowed me to tell the mac os terminal to delay the execution of the command that simulates typing text from your clipboard.

• Command that simulates typing text from clipboard:
  osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke the clipboard as text'

• Command that delays execution of a command by 3 seconds:
  sleep 3 && "place command here"

• Together:
  sleep 3 && osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke the clipboard as text'

[rickdgray]

would love this feature

Agreed that would be a massive QOL improvement. Currently that's why I am still using Portainer as well, since it works there.
Although I'd like to only use Dockge.

It's very uneasy to manually enter command in this AI era.

[realindiahotel]

Everyone this is fixed in the nightly build. Switch from latest to nightly and it is working!

[cirrusflyer]

Tried this and no stacks displayed any longer. So not stable.
