clcl

X11 CLi CLipboard manager.

WIP

This program is still in progress. See the roadmap section for stuff that doesn't work yet. This is buggy.

Installation

npm i -g clcl

You'll need to manually start the daemon. I put this in my ~/.xinitrc:

# merge xresources, set keybinds, etc
clcl-daemon &
exec i3 # your window manager goes here

Usage

  clcl -h      # print help
  clcl -l      # list all
  clcl -s [n]  # select entry at index n
  clcl -r [n]  # remove entry at index n
  clcl -c      # clear all

clcl stores up to 100 entries.

Roadmap

Listen for copy events, rather than polling for changes synchronously
Work with primary selection?
Other platforms?
Other init systems?
Postinstall to handle the daemon?

Bugs

clcl -c doesn't actually work. Looks like a race condition between the sync daemon and clearing the db.
