Hi, welcome to the Julia Discourse forum! If you do `@which clipboard`, it shows that `clipboard` is defined in the `InteractiveUtils` module. It appears that this module is automatically loaded by the REPL but not when executing a script. So just adding `using InteractiveUtils: clipboard` at the start of your script should fix it.

I can’t find anything about this in the documentation, maybe worth investigating and fixing with a PR…
