clipster

Clipster was designed to try to add a good selection of useful features, while avoiding bad design decisions or becoming excessively large. Its feature list includes:

• Event driven, rather than polling. More efficient, helps with power management.
• Control over when it write to disk, for similar reasons.
• Command-line options/config for everything.
• No global keybindings - that's the job of a Window Manager
• Sensible handling of unusual clipboard events. Some apps (Chrome, Emacs) trigger a clipboard 'update event' for every character you select, rather than just one event when you stop selecting.
• Preserves the last item in clipboard after an application closes. (Many apps clear the clipboard on exit).
• Minimal dependencies, no complicated build/install requirements.
• utf-8 support
• Proper handling of embedded newlines and control codes.
• Smart matching of urls, emails, regexes. (extract_*)
• Option to synchronise the SELECTION and CLIPBOARD clipboards. (sync_selections)
• Option to track one or both clipboards. (active_selections)
• Option to ignore clipboard updates form certain applications. (filter_classes)
• Ability to delete items in clipboard history.
