How to add ctrl v in pygame?-CodePudding

I'm wondering how to add Ctrl V in pygame. I made a text box that will help. I'm just wondering how to search in the data of the computer to know what was the copied word.

CodePudding user response：

If you want to copy the clipboard content use pyperclip

here is a link for installation : pyperclip pip link

you can copy/pasted & edit clipboard content

CodePudding user response：

There is module pygame.scrap to get/set clipboard but I had to use

pygame.scrap.get("text/plain;charset=utf-8").decode()

instead of

pygame.scrap.get(pygame.SCRAP_TEXT)

And I needed to set first

pygame.scrap.init()
pygame.scrap.set_mode(pygame.SCRAP_CLIPBOARD)
#pygame.scrap.set_mode(pygame.SCRAP_SELECTION)

You can check Ctrl V in loop for event in pygame.event.get() with

if (event.key == pygame.K_v) and (event.mod & pygame.KMOD_CTRL):

Minimal working code

import pygame

# --- constants --- (UPPER_CASE_NAMES)

SCREEN_WIDTH = 800
SCREEN_HEIGHT = 600

BLACK = (0, 0, 0)

FPS = 25

# --- main ---

pygame.init()

pygame.scrap.init()
#pygame.scrap.set_mode(pygame.SCRAP_CLIPBOARD)
pygame.scrap.set_mode(pygame.SCRAP_SELECTION)

screen = pygame.display.set_mode( (SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT) )

# --- mainloop ---

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

running = True
while running:

    # --- events ---
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False

        elif event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
            if event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
                running = False
            
            elif event.key == pygame.K_v and event.mod & pygame.KMOD_CTRL:
                print('Clipboard:', pygame.scrap.get(pygame.SCRAP_TEXT))
                print('Clipboard:', pygame.scrap.get("text/plain;charset=utf-8").decode())
                
                for t in pygame.scrap.get_types():
                    r = pygame.scrap.get(t)
                    print('>', t, r)
                    
    # --- draws ---

    screen.fill(BLACK)
    
    pygame.display.flip()

    # --- FPS ---

    ms = clock.tick(FPS)
    
# --- end ---

pygame.quit()

In PyGame repo on GitHub I found examples/scrap_clipboard.py
