.TH XCLIPBOARD 1 __xorgversion__
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
xclipboard \- X clipboard client
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBxclipboard\fP [ \fI\-toolkitoption\fP ... ] [ \fB\-w\fP ]
|
|
[ \fB\-nw\fP ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The \fIxclipboard\fP program is used to collect and display text selections
|
|
that are sent to the CLIPBOARD by other clients. It is typically used to
|
|
save CLIPBOARD selections for later use. It stores each CLIPBOARD selection
|
|
as a separate string, each of which can be selected. Each time CLIPBOARD
|
|
is asserted by another application, \fIxclipboard\fP transfers the contents
|
|
of that selection to a new buffer and displays it in the text window.
|
|
Buffers are never automatically deleted, so you'll want to use the delete
|
|
button to get rid of useless items.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Since \fIxclipboard\fP uses a Text Widget to display the contents of the
|
|
clipboard, text sent to the CLIPBOARD may be re-selected for use in other
|
|
applications. \fIxclipboard\fP also responds to requests for the CLIPBOARD
|
|
selection from other clients by sending the entire contents of the currently
|
|
displayed buffer.
|
|
.PP
|
|
An \fIxclipboard\fP window has the following buttons across the top:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.I quit
|
|
When this button is pressed, \fIxclipboard\fP exits.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.I delete
|
|
When this button is pressed, the current buffer is deleted and the
|
|
next one displayed.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.I new
|
|
Creates a new buffer with no contents. Useful in constructing a new
|
|
CLIPBOARD selection by hand.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.I save
|
|
Displays a File Save dialog box.
|
|
Pressing the Accept button saves the currently
|
|
displayed buffer to the file specified in the text field.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.I next
|
|
Displays the next buffer in the list.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.I previous
|
|
Displays the previous buffer.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
The \fIxclipboard\fP program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command
|
|
line options as well as the following:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
This option indicates that lines of text that are too long to be displayed on
|
|
one line in the clipboard should wrap around to the following lines.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-nw
|
|
This option indicates that long lines of text should not wrap around. This
|
|
is the default behavior.
|
|
.SH WIDGETS
|
|
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of
|
|
the widgets which compose \fIxclipboard\fR. In the notation below,
|
|
indentation indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name
|
|
is given first, followed by the widget instance name.

.SH SENDING/RETRIEVING CLIPBOARD CONTENTS
|
|
Text is copied to the clipboard whenever a client asserts ownership of the
|
|
\fBCLIPBOARD\fP selection. Text is copied from the clipboard whenever a
|
|
client requests the contents of the \fBCLIPBOARD\fP selection. Examples of
|
|
event bindings that a user may wish to include in a resource configuration
|
|
file to use the clipboard are:
