Medo.X11Clipboard

X11Clipboard library is designed for applications that need to interact with the X11 clipboard system. This library provides essential functions for getting and setting UTF-8 text content for both X11's primary selection and clipboard. This makes it ideal for applications that require straightforward clipboard interactions without the overhead of more comprehensive libraries.

Features:

  • Supports both primary selection and clipboard GetText and SetText operations.
  • .NET 8 AOT support

Fork notice

This repository is a fork of the original Medo.X11Clipboard by Josip Medved. It is maintained by Evgeny Gorbovoy jinek@msn.com.

The changes in this fork were implemented by Junie with ChatGPT-5. The main goals of the fork are to improve CA1031 compliance and developer ergonomics.

You can find packaged library at NuGet.

Usage

To write and read X11 primary selection (aka, middle-click clipboard):

using System;
using jinek.X11;

X11Clipboard.Primary.SetText("My text.");
Console.WriteLine(X11Clipboard.Primary.GetText());

To write and read normal clipboard:

using System;
using jinek.X11;

X11Clipboard.Clipboard.SetText("My text.");
Console.WriteLine(X11Clipboard.Clipboard.GetText());

Exception handling (fork changes)

  • Constructors now throw exceptions instead of silently failing:

    • PlatformNotSupportedException on non-Linux platforms.
    • X11ClipboardException for X11/atom/window initialization failures.

  • A new UnhandledException event is raised when an exception occurs in the background X11 event loop. You can observe and optionally handle it:

using jinek.X11;

// Subscribe once at startup
X11Clipboard.Clipboard.UnhandledException += (sender, e) => {
    // Log the error
    Console.Error.WriteLine($"X11 loop error: {e.Exception}");

    // If you decide you handled it and want to prevent the thread from crashing:
    e.Handled = true; // omit or set to false to let the exception bubble up
};
