13 In short, it is clipboard history dockable application for Window Maker
14 (and maybe AfterStep with some little modifications - not tested).
15 wmcliphist keeps history of clipboard operations and allows you to put
16 previously copied items back to clipboard for pasting to other
17 applications. I wrote wmcliphist because there was no such application
18 suitable for usage in Window Maker and I was confused to run number of
19 KDE daemons for Klipper (which was the inspiration).
25 * selectable number of items to keep
26 * detachable (tear off) menu with clipboard history
27 * possibility to lock item (locked items will not be overriden by new
28 clipboard operations). To lock item press right mouse button on it.
29 * saves history to file on exit (and loads it on start, of course :),
30 periodicaly and/or on request
31 * can handle binary data
32 * configurable hotkey support (pop up menu at mouse cursor position)
33 * regular expression driven actions (ignore/submenu/exec)
34 * possibility to lock clipboard (new selections will not replace the
35 current one and it could not be stored in history too)
41 wmcliphist requires gtk+ and glib (fully tested only with 1.2.8 and
42 1.2.10, but probably will work with any 1.2.x version) and foodock
43 library for writing dockable applications based on gtk+ (included).
44 Hopefuly you'll only need to run
48 to compile and install wmcliphist. Note that you have to be root to
49 install program to /usr/local/bin (default). If it fails, check, that
50 you have installed gtk+, gtk+-devel, glib and glib-devel packages, make
51 and compiler (gcc). If it still fails, try to upgrade to up to date
52 versions of libraries listed above (see www.gtk.org).
53 wmcliphist was tested only on Linux (Red Hat Linux 7.2, kernel 2.4.9,
54 gcc 2.96), but it should compile and run on other un*x systems too.
55 After installing binary you can create your configuration file in
56 ~/.wmcliphistrc (sample config file wmcliphistrc is included in
57 distribution archive).
61 Please note, that upgrade from version 0.1 will delete your old history!
62 If you are upgrading from version 0.2 to 0.3, move your ~/.wmcliphistrc
63 to ~/.wmcliphist.data and create new ~/.wmcliphistrc with configuration
64 (sample config file is included).
70 wmcliphist accepts followinf options:
73 -n <num> set number of items to keep (default 10)
74 -c color set color for locked items (default is red)
75 -s <size> choose wmcliphist icon size:
76 16 = tiny 16x16 px icon
77 30 = icon suitable for 32px dock/slit
78 40 = icon suitable for 48px dock/slit
79 60 = icon suitable for 64px dock/slit (default)
80 -i <num> choose wmcliphist icon antialiasing:
81 0 = for mid tones background (default)
82 1 = for dark background
83 2 = for light background
87 /usr/local/bin/wmcliphist -n 15 -c darkgreen
89 Some of theese options and many others can be set in ~/.wmcliphistrc too.
91 Left click on icon opens menu with history and right click opens
92 application menu. Right click on history menu item will lock it.
93 History menu can be opened at mouse cursor position with configurable
100 * Maybe some configuration GUI? Who knows...
101 * Separated history queues
