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.
