Newlines don't work

[Unscrewed]

Using \n does not work to create a new line. Is this a bug? It would be EXTREMELY useful for me!

I think the service just dumps the content of clipboard as a single log message which shows up in a single line. It should be fairly straight forward to split the text into lines and log these lines individually.

Do you want to send a pull request to do this? I will merge it in.

@majido Thanks for your fast response! I tried to download android studio and import the project files and do it myself, but I really have no clue what I'm doing to be honest. If you are willing to make this feature, I will surely donate you if you have PayPal! If you are interested of course.

I have a chatbot that needs to reply fast, and now I have to set clipboard, paste, press enter for a new line, set clipboard again with the new line, paste, press enter, etc... which is a painfully long and inefficient process. I'd rather just be able to set all lines at once.

Thanks in advance!

Newlines already work, you just need to send them properly. Like so:

NL=$'\n'; am broadcast -a clipper.set -e text "Line one${NL}Line two"

or better:

am broadcast -a clipper.set -e text "$(echo "Line one\nLine two")"
