I can't find a way to copy a title of currently played song in ncmpcpp to clipboard.

Is there any shortcut to do this ?

Ubuntu Version: 19.10:

$ lsb_release -r
Release:    19.10

ncmpcpp 0.8.2:

$ ncmpcpp -v
ncmpcpp 0.8.2

optional screens compiled-in:
 - tag editor
 - tiny tag editor
 - outputs
 - visualizer
 - clock

encoding detection: enabled
built with support for: fftw ncurses taglib

    Please click [edit] and revise your question to specify the version and release number of Ubuntu in use. Also see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/ncmpcpp.1.html and https://pkgbuild.com/~jelle/ncmpcpp/ – K7AAY Dec 18 '19 at 17:25

Thanks to @K7AAY I have found an answer:

#!/bin/bash

SONG=`ncmpcpp --current-song -q`
echo "NAME: ${SONG}"
echo -n $SONG | xclip -selection c

Running above script will print song name and copy it to the clipboard.
