It seems like akclip can only copy one-line commands with no pipes. For instance. If I run:

akclip ps -aux | grep "akclip"

it will not work as intended. Some times it will throw a failure, sometimes it will just do nothing. I want akclip to be usable in all these ways:

Piped Commands:
akclip ps -aux | grep "akclip"

Multi-line commands:
akclip command 1
command 2

Joined commands:
akclip command 1 && command 2

Pipe INTO akclip:
ps -aux | grep "akclip" | akclip

akclip should capture the output of everything that comes after it, whether it be pipes, interactive output (like -f to follow journals), joined commands, etc...

I am not opposed to having to format commands like an array, but ONLY if I have to. ie:

akclip [ps -aux, ls -la, df -h]

Whatever the best solution is, so as not to change the language or syntax of the original commands too much.
