## Standard output to clipboard

With KiTTY, it is possible to send standard output directly to Windows Clipboard.

First, it is necessary to configure a fake printer into Terminal panel of the configuration box:

stdouttoclipboard

Then start the session and create this build-in shell function:

# Function to send standard output to Windows clipboard
function wcl {
  echo -ne '\e''[5i'
  cat $*
  echo -ne '\e''[4i'
  echo "Copied to Windows clipboard" 1>&2
}

And use is with pipe:

$ ls -lart | wcl
Copied to Windows clipboard
