CLIPIT(1)

✨ CLIPIT — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to CLIPIT(1) — that's section 1 of the General Commands Manual, the girlies who read the fine print know. this is the page for ClipIt, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ClipIt — a lightweight GTK+ clipboard manager. that's it, that's the whole identity. minimal, iconic, does her job. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

clipit [OPTION]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. ClipIt is a lightweight GTK+ clipboard manager. no bloat, no drama, just clipboard management with main character energy. ✨

But here's the plot twist that makes her special: ClipIt also features a clipboard CLI. which means — and stay with me — any option you type that she doesn't recognize, plus whatever you pipe into her standard input, gets copied straight to your clipboard. yes literally. it just works that way. see the CLI EXAMPLES section below for the receipts. 🧚

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -?, --help — show help options. the classic "help me bestie" move. 🙈
• -d, --daemon — run as a daemon. use this mode if you just want ClipIt to keep your clipboard and primary contents safe. she's on watch duty, 24/7, no cap. 👑
• -n, --no-icon — do not use the status icon. want her running invisibly? stealth mode activated. 🌈
• -c, --clipboard — print clipboard contents. show me what's in there, queen. 💖
• -p, --primary — print primary contents. the other clipboard, the mysterious one, the X11 legend. 🔥

🌟 NOTES 🌟

🎬 ACTIONS 🎬

ClipIt's actions perform commands using the contents of your clipboard. and the magic is this: "%s" in the command gets replaced with the clipboard contents. so you write your little command template, and %s gets swapped for whatever you last copied. it's giving automation era. ⭐

💻 CLI EXAMPLES 💻

Put text in the clipboard — two ways, both slay:

echo "copied to clipboard" | clipit
clipit "copied to clipboard"

Put text in the clipboard and print the clipboard contents — do both, why not:

echo "copied to clipboard" | clipit -c

⌨️ Hotkeys ⌨️

The available hotkey modifiers are <Ctrl>, <Alt> <Shift>, <Release>, <Meta>, <Super>, <Hyper>, <Mod[1-5]>

ngl that list is exactly what you'd expect from an X11 hotkey parser and I respect it. memorize it or screenshot it, your call. 💀
