Clipboard shenanigans

I’ve been running into a bunch of related problems with cut and paste operations in Maya 2015 and I’m wondering if anybody has seen or solved these before.

  1. Rich text pasted into Maya

It’s pretty well known that this is less than perfect - you can’t, for example, paste text from PyCharm into Maya (a giant pain in the butt).

I tried the solution from Nathan Horne, but that has the nasty side effect of disabling cut-and-paste of files in windows while Maya is running.

  1. Cutting text using win32

I’ve used Pyperclip for several years with no problems to do python cut-and-paste operations. However in Maya 2015, paste does not work. Running the same code outside of a Maya environment works, however.

I’m assuming these are related, though that’s just an assumption.

Has anybody got a good workaround for either or both of these?

Resurrecting an old thread. Did you ever find a solution to this Theodox? Using pyperclip I can paste but not copy in Maya 2015 :frowning:
