clipboard

Description

Plugin to programmatically copy strings to your system clipboard, monitor and get the current clipboard content.

param poll_interval:

How often the ClipboardPlugin.loop function should be executed (default: 15 seconds). NOTE: For back-compatibility reasons, the poll_seconds argument is also supported, but it’s deprecated.

param stop_timeout:

How long we should wait for any running threads/processes to stop before exiting (default: 5 seconds).

param disable_monitor:

If set to True then the plugin will not monitor for new events. This is useful if you want to run a plugin in stateless mode and only leverage its actions, without triggering any events. Defaults to False.
