For primary clipboard support, also add `exec wl-paste -p -t text --watch clipman store --histpath="~/.local/share/clipman-primary.json`. .PP To query the history and select items, run the binary as `clipman pick`. You can assign it to a keybinding: `bindsym $mod+h exec clipman pick`. For primary clipboard support, `clipman pick --histpath="~/.local/share/clipman-primary.json`. .PP To remove items from history, `clipman clear` and `clipman clear --all`. .PP To serve the last history item at startup, add `exec clipman restore` to your Sway config. .SH "KNOWN ISSUES" All items stored in history are treated as plain text. This means that, unless you run with the `--no-persist` option, you'll always immediately lose rich content: for example, if you copy formatted text inside Libre Office you'll lose all formatting on paste.
