Description from store # Crouton Clipboard ### Prerequisites * NodeJS * Git ### About Crouton clipboard integrates the Chrome OS clipboard with the [crouton](https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton) linux instance clipboard without running the display (so, only when you use the CLI). Whenever you copy something on Chrome OS, it is automatically written to ~/.crouton-clipboard/data, and whenever you write to ~/.crouton-clipboard/data, it is automatically copied to your clipboard on Chrome OS. ### Installation First you want to clone [Crouton Clipboard®](https://github.com/zwhitchcox/crouton-clipboard) and add `node ~/.crouton-clipboard/server` to your `.bashrc`. You can do this manually, or just type `curl -sL https://cdn.rawgit.com/zwhitchcox/crouton-clipboard/master/install.sh` into your console, and this will be done automagically. Next, you need to install the Crouton Clipboard Extension® which will create a websocket server in the background, and listen on each page for the clipboard event, sending it to the server, which is created by `server.js`. ### Vim Integration I created this for vim, so I didn't have to copy and paste using the chrome interface, so to install for vim, all you have to do is add the following to your `vimrc` ```vim nnoremap "*p :r !cat $HOME/.crouton-clipboard/data<CR> vnoremap "*y :'<,'>w! $HOME/.crouton-clipboard/data<CR> ``` Note: This is automatically done by `install.sh` Then, to copy and paste from the "system" clipboard in vim, just type `"*y` and `"*p`.

(2021-02-26) Bob Heckel: As a Vim user this extension kept me from giving up on Chromebooks for software development. Sad it is needed in Feb. 2021 but this worked for me: 1. install this extension 2. restart browser 3. apt-get install nodejs 4. wget https://cdn.rawgit.com/zwhitchcox/crouton-clipboard/master/install.sh 5. sh install.sh 6. source ~/.bashrc 7. I replaced install.sh's vnoremaps with vnoremap <silent> yx :'<,'>w! ~/.crouton-clipboard/data.txt<CR>
(2020-09-05) Mark Dymek: this hasn't been updated in 4 years and now doesn't work. it says it can't access anything from chrome and theres no way to change that.
(2017-01-29) Isaac Johnson: could not figure out the mapping file. install.sh echoed contents in chroot.. just ran manually. THe data file is propegated so i just use :r ~./crouton-clipboard/data.txt when i need it (usually a password or something one time use, so it dont mind not figuring out the shortcut). thanks!
