Hi Tim,

Funny - just a few minutes ago, before reading your message, I learned while installing https://github.com/stig/ox-jira.el, about =org-export-copy-to-kill-ring=:

org-export-copy-to-kill-ring is a variable defined in ox.el.

Non-nil means pushing export output to the kill ring.

This variable is ignored during asynchronous export.

In my brief testing, it does exactly what you want: regardless of the export output or method (to a file or to a temporary buffer), the result is placed in the clipboard.

Best,

--Diego

Hi Everyone,

I'm interested in adding something to the export dispatcher that would automatically put the exported text (or perhaps even file?) onto my clipboard.

Preferably I'd like to define this once and have it available to each backend. So maybe I want markdown this time but rather than to a buffer or file I want it to go straight to my clipboard. Next time I want HTML or Plain Text but the same thing.

Can anyone give me some hints on where to start looking for that? Or maybe it's already been done?

Thanks in advance!
