Copyq: Piping command output to clipboard

[reagle]

Shouldn't the following work?

─➤  echo "Some text" | copyq copy

ScriptError: Failed to copy to clipboard!

The command is missing the dash argument to signify that stdin is passed to the copy function.

echo "Some text" | copyq copy -

Not exactly the same command, but copyq copy - < file.txt is mentioned on the web site in the README file.

I accept pull requests so feel free to update it (or the documentation).
