Tkinter.Misc.clipboard_get¶

Misc.clipboard_get(**kw)[source]¶

Retrieve data from the clipboard on window’s display.

The window keyword defaults to the root window of the Tkinter application.

The type keyword specifies the form in which the data is to be returned and should be an atom name such as STRING or FILE_NAME. Type defaults to STRING, except on X11, where the default is to try UTF8_STRING and fall back to STRING.

This command is equivalent to:

selection_get(CLIPBOARD)
