clipboard text access from icfb

swdesigner

Hello,

         Is there any way to accomplish something like this :

Is there any way, within icfb (say schematic editor), to be able to access text in the xwindows clipboard?

Here is my end goal :

I want to select text in my text editor (such as NEdit - outside icfb)

Then, in my schematic editor, I want to execute a bindkey that will :

search for instance name matching the selected tex
zoom to the instance

Any ideas will be great.

Thanks!

    Hi SWDesigner,

    To my knowledge there is no programmatic (API) interface to any clipboard or copy-paste buffer in SKILL.  However there appears to be a Linux command called "xclip" that may provide such access externally, and then perhaps this could be invoked/interacted with using the ipcBeginProcess and related commands in SKILL.

    That's all I have, hope it helps!

    Lawrence.
