.SH "USAGE"
Run the binary in your Sway session by adding `exec wl-paste -t text --watch clipman store` (or `exec wl-paste -t text --watch clipman store 1>> PATH/TO/LOGFILE 2>&1 &` to log errors) at the beginning of your config.
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 -t wofi`. You can assign it to a keybinding: `bindsym $mod+h exec clipman pick -t wofi`.
For primary clipboard support, `clipman pick -t wofi --histpath="~/.local/share/clipman-primary.json`.
.PP
To remove items from history, `clipman clear -t wofi` 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.
.PP
By default, we continue serving the last copied item even after its owner has exited. 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; or, if you copy a bookmark in Firefox, you won't be able to paste it in another bookmark folder.
