  - trigger: ":nif"
    replace: "{{output}}"
    vars:
      - name: output
        type: shell
        params:
          cmd: "grep NIF $HOME/documents | cut -d ':' -f2 | tee >(xclip)"

I have this in my config and whenever I triggered it , it's supposed to replace the trigger by a number and copy to my clipboard as well. The clipboard seems to be working but replacing the text usually doesn't.

Hey @matildeopbravo,

I'm sorry you experienced this problem! Espanso might be having some problems executing the script. Could you please try to:

  1. Add the debug: true option:
  - trigger: ":nif"
    replace: "{{output}}"
    vars:
      - name: output
        type: shell
        params:
          cmd: "grep NIF $HOME/documents | cut -d ':' -f2 | tee >(xclip)"
          debug: true
  1. Execute the trigger
  2. Run espanso log in the terminal

You should be able to see if any error occurs from the logs, as espanso now reports the exit code, stderr and stdout of the process.

Let me know if that helps

Cheers :)

@matildeopbravo Interesting, thank you. The script seems to be working correctly, but I suspect the call to xclip is interfering with the way espanso works. Are you using the backend: Clipboard option?

Cheers :)
