clipboard tool

The only clipboard I could find doing a search of the forums and AUR were specific clipboards for gnome, xfce, and kde. I'm using fluxbox, and I'm wondering if there is a clipboard besides xclipboard, I'd like one that keeps a global buffer, for lack of a better word. I want to still have things I've copied after the program I copied from is closed.

"wmcliphist" from AUR. It compiles well and works on fluxbox for me.

Re: clipboard tool

The gnome clipboard manager is also downloadable as a standalone daemon. I'm not using it, but it should work...

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd

edit: this pkgbuild is old and should be edited to (at least) install to /usr rather than /opt.

i made a pkgbuild matching my needs. if anyone wants to use it feel free to

pkgname=clipboard-daemon
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Clipboard Daemon is a program that keeps the content of your X clipboard in memory"
url="http://members.chello.nl/~h.lai/gnome-clipboard-daemon/"
arch=('i686')
license=('GPL')
depends=('gtk2')
source=(http://members.chello.nl/~h.lai/gnome-clipboard-daemon/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('e81427c7f7b42e3fad89bdd0b384cc4e')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  make || return 1
  install -D -m755 $pkgname $startdir/pkg/usr/sbin/$pkgname
}

Re: clipboard tool

I use glipper with docker in WindowMaker; wmcliphist has troubles with Unicode data (gtk1...).
