Clipboard

The nova.clipboard global object is used to read and write text to the user’s clipboard. This API requires that the extension declare the clipboard entitlement.

Added in Nova 1.2.

Methods

readText()

Returns a Promise object that resolves to the current text on the user’s clipboard. If the data on the clipboard is not text, or there is no data on the clipboard, the promise resolves to an empty string.
