WMCLIPHIST(1)

💖 WMCLIPHIST(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual — it's all about wmcliphist, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. pull up a chair. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

wmcliphist — it literally gives you a history for X11 selections. no cap. that's the whole job and it does it gorgeously. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wmcliphist [-h]  [-v] [-n num]  [-c col]  [-i num]  [-s size] [-b
clipboard]

look at her. so compact. so iconic. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this manual page documents wmcliphist briefly — that's the vibe, we're keeping it cute and concise. 🫶

fr fr, this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. we had to make one ourselves. doing the lord's work honestly. 😭

wmcliphist is a dockable application which provides a history for the last few selections made in the X11 Window System. she sits there in your dock, holding onto your recent selections like the loyal bestie she is. ✨

heads up!! most of wmcliphist's features are accessed by installing a configuration file .wmcliphistrc into your $HOME. 👀 you can find a well documented example in /usr/share/doc/wmcliphist. go look, it's giving tutorial energy.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

every flag, every detail, no skips. we don't do that here.

• -h — show a summary of options. the little "help me" button. 🆘
• -v — print the version. gotta know which girl you're running. 💖
• -n num — set the number of items to keep in the history. default is 10. ten lil memories, snug in her pocket. 🎀
• -c col — set the color for locked items. default is red. 🔥
• -i num — choose wmcliphist icon antialiasing: if you have a midtone background provide num=0, for dark backgrounds choose num=1, and for light backgrounds num=2. match your aesthetic bestie, it matters. 🌈
• -s size — choose wmcliphist icon size. must be one of 16, 30, 40 or 60 (that last one is the default). pick your moment. ✨
• -b clipboard — choose which clipboard to use. must be one of:
  • PRIMARY — select copies, middle click pastes. this one is the default. 💖
  • SECONDARY — not used. she's there but she's not booked. 💀
  • CLIPBOARD — Ctrl+C copies, Ctrl+V pastes. the classic combo. 👑
