Unknown action: copy_to_clipboard

[siddhpant]

To copy text to clipboard from a kitten using the kitty API, I used boss.call_remote_control(w, ('action', '--self', 'copy_to_clipboard', text)), but using it I get the error in the title.

Using kitty.clipboard.set_clipboard_string works, but as mentioned in the docs it isn't documented. I had to look at the source code.

Where am I going wrong?

Read the docs of the copy_to_clipboard action is does not take any arguments. It copies the selection in the active window only. If you want to copy specific text to the clipboars use the undocumented API as there is no documented API for it.

Alright, thanks!
