fstools : zz - shell clipboard

zz is the generic clipboard program.
The clipboard itself is $ZZ (default: $HOME/.zz).
zz stores up to 10 clipboard versions (through vv) and comes with clipboard editor ezz.
Limitation: zz does not work across different accounts or hosts! Use xx or yy instead.

See xzz for X11 clipboard history.

zz comes with vv, tt and del in one package.

Options and modes are:

  "zz"              show content of $ZZ
  "zz file(s)"      copy file(s) content into $ZZ
  "zz -"            write STDIN (keyboard, mouse buffer) to $ZZ
  "zz +"            add STDIN (keyboard, mouse buffer) to $ZZ
  "... | zz"        write STDIN from pipe to $ZZ
  "... | zz +"      add STDIN from pipe to $ZZ
  "... | zz -"      write STDIN from pipe to $ZZ and STDOUT
  "zz | ..."        write $ZZ to pipe
  "... | zz | ..."  save pipe data to $ZZ (like tee)
  "zz --"           write $ZZ to STDOUT
  "zz -v"           show clipboard versions (history)
  "zz -1"           write $ZZ version 1 to STDOUT
  "zz -9"           write $ZZ version 9 to STDOUT
