# Crouton Clipboard
### Prerequisites
* NodeJS
* Git
### About
Crouton clipboard integrates the Chrome OS clipboard with the [crouton](https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton) linux instance clipboard without running the display (so, only when you use the CLI).
Whenever you copy something on Chrome OS, it is automatically written to ~/.crouton-clipboard/data, and whenever you write to ~/.crouton-clipboard/data, it is automatically copied to your clipboard on Chrome OS.
### Installation
First you want to clone [Crouton Clipboard®](https://github.com/zwhitchcox/crouton-clipboard) and add `node ~/.crouton-clipboard/server` to your `.bashrc`. You can do this manually, or just type
`curl -sL https://cdn.rawgit.com/zwhitchcox/crouton-clipboard/master/install.sh`
into your console, and this will be done automagically.
Next, you need to install the Crouton Clipboard Extension® which will create a websocket server in the background, and listen on each page for the clipboard event, sending it to the server, which is created by `server.js`.
### Vim Integration
I created this for vim, so I didn't have to copy and paste using the chrome interface, so to install for vim, all you have to do is add the following to your `vimrc`
```vim
nnoremap "*p :r !cat $HOME/.crouton-clipboard/data<CR>
vnoremap "*y :'<,'>w! $HOME/.crouton-clipboard/data<CR>
```
Note: This is automatically done by `install.sh`
Then, to copy and paste from the "system" clipboard in vim, just type `"*y` and `"*p`.

Reviews of crouton clipboard:
this hasn't been updated in 4 years and now doesn't work. it says it can't access anything from chrome and theres no way to change that.
could not figure out the mapping file. install.sh echoed contents in chroot.. just ran manually. THe data file is propegated so i just use :r ~./crouton-clipboard/data.txt when i need it (usually a password or something one time use, so it dont mind not figuring out the shortcut). thanks!
