wl-clipboard-manager

This is a simple wrapper over wl-clipboard that implements a clipboard manager.

Features

• Preview window for multi-line entries (even somewhat colorized)
• Picture preview using kitty icat protocol

Dependencies

It is currently heavily dependent on specific tools that I use, but I don't oppose making the script more generic - if there is an interest, just open a PR and let's discuss!

• dmenu-term - my own dmenu implementation that allows providing \0-separated strings (important for multi-line entries) and custom preview (for colorizing the text, or image preview)
• bat - for colorizing text
• fzf - current preview syntax depends on --preview-window from fzf
• sqlite3 - to store clipboard entries
• python - to retrieve entries from database

Installation

On Arch Linux you can use wl-clipboard-manager package.

Alternatively, use sudo make install.

Usage

• Start the daemon by running wl-clipboard-manager daemon or a systemd user service
• Launch dmenu using wl-clipboard-manager dmenu
• To copy sensitive text without saving it in clipboard history, use wl-clipboard-manager lock; <your-command>; wl-clipboard-manager unlock
