clipman
A clipboard manager for Wayland
Show help.
Record clipboard events (run as argument to `wl-paste --watch`)
Pick an item from clipboard history
Remove item/s from history
Serve the last recorded item from history
Run the binary in your Sway session by adding `exec wl-paste -t text --watch clipman store` (or `exec wl-paste -t text --watch clipman store 1>> PATH/TO/LOGFILE 2>&1 &` to log errors) at the beginning of your config. For primary clipboard support, also add `exec wl-paste -p -t text --watch clipman store --histpath="~/.local/share/clipman-primary.json`.
To query the history and select items, run the binary as `clipman pick`. You can assign it to a keybinding: `bindsym $mod+h exec clipman pick`. For primary clipboard support, `clipman pick --histpath="~/.local/share/clipman-primary.json`.
To remove items from history, `clipman clear` and `clipman clear --all`.
To serve the last history item at startup, add `exec clipman restore` to your Sway config.
All items stored in history are treated as plain text. This means that, unless you run with the `--no-persist` option, you'll always immediately lose rich content: for example, if you copy formatted text inside Libre Office you'll lose all formatting on paste.
