Same but less instead of cat so my fingers stay in the keyboard.

Vet, vite, etc are kind of like kitchen single-taskers like avocado slicer-scoopers. Surely some people get great value out of them but a table-knife works just fine for me and useful in many task flows.

I'd get more value out of a cross-platform copy-paster so I'm not skip-stepping in my mind between pbpaste and xclip.

Have you tried aliases?

For pbpaste/pbcopy and xclip? I've considered it and haven't decided how to do it yet given differences in how they work. Do you have one?

		I do `if ! which pbcopy &> /dev/null; then alias pbcopy="xclip -selection clipboard" alias pbpaste="xclip -o -selection clipboard" fi` The `if` bit is so it only adds the alias if there isn't a `pbcopy`, so I can use the same dotfile on mac and linux

		I’m honestly not familiar with pbcopy, but I imagine you could make a relatively consistent wrapper in python if a simple alias does not work. Are you able to give some example shell code of what you’d like to be consistent?
