= clipboard
Access the clipboard and do not care if the OS is Linux, MacOS or Windows.

=== Usage
You have <tt>Clipboard.copy</tt>,

<tt>Clipboard.paste</tt> and

<tt>Clipboard.clear</tt>

Have fun ;)

==== Multiple clipboards
On Linux, you can choose, from which clipboard you want to +paste+, default is PRIMARY.

+copy+ copies to all clipboards in Clipboard::CLIPBOARDS.

==== Windows Encoding note
If you paste with 1.9, the Clipboard encoding will be translated to your <tt>Encoding.default_external</tt>.

If you paste with 1.8, it will fallback to CP850 encoding.
Copying with 1.8 will fallback to the +clip+ utility, which is installed by default since Vista

=== Non-gem requirements
* *Linux*: +xclip+, you can install it on debian/ubuntu with <tt>sudo apt-get install xclip</tt>

=== Todo
* Don't depend on +xclip+

Feel free to report bugs or to implement one of the Todo entries ;)
