A basic clipboard manager for Wayland, with support for persisting copy buffers after an application exits.
## Requirements
## Installing
Requirements:
- a windows manager that uses `wlr-data-control`, like Sway and other wlroots-based WMs.
- wl-clipboard from latest master (NOT v1.0)
- dmenu or rofi
[Install go](https://golang.org/doc/install), add `$GOPATH/bin` to your path, then run `go install` inside this folder.
Archlinux users can find a PKGBUILD [here](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clipman/).
## Usage
Install the binary in your path, then run it in your Sway session by adding `exec clipman -d` at the beginning of your config.
Run the binary in your Sway session by adding `exec clipman -d` (or `exec clipman -d 1>> PATH/TO/LOGFILE 2>&1` to log errors) at the beginning of your config.
To query the history and select items, run the binary as `clipman -s`. You can assign it to a keybinding: `bindsym $mod+h exec clipman -s`.
