Parcellite - Lightweight GTK+ Clipboard Manager
SYNOPSISparcellite [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
Parcellite is a lightweight GTK+ clipboard manager. This is a stripped
down, basic-features-only clipboard manager with a small memory foot‐
print for those who like simplicity.
Parcellite features a clipboard CLI. Unrecognized options and the con‐
tents of your standard input get copied to your clipboard. See CLI
EXAMPLES.
Look at the tool tips by hovering over each item in the prefrences dia‐
log.
OPTIONS
-?, --help
Show help options
-d, --daemon
Run as daemon. Use this mode if you just want Parcellite to keep
your clipboard and primary contents safe. Daemon mode just
restores clipboard contents if it is lost. It does nothing
else, no clipboard history, no clipboard synchronization, no
icon, no command line interface, or anything other than restor‐
ing clipboard content if it becomes empty. It must be run as the
first instance, and will disable the command line interface and
all other features of parcellite.
-n, --no-icon
Do not use status icon
-c, --clipboard
Print clipboard contents -p, --primary Print primary contents
ACTIONS
Parcellite's actions perform commands using the contents of your clip‐
board. "%s" in the command is replaced with the clipboard contents. Use
double quotes "%s" to expand env variables like $HOME to
/home/your_name Use single quotes '%s' to feed your action with env
variables without shell expansion.
CLI EXAMPLES
echo "copied to clipboard" | parcellite
parcellite "copied to clipboard"
echo "copied to clipboard" | parcellite-c
Hotkeys
The available hotkey modifiers are <Ctrl>, <Alt> <Shift>, <Release>,
<Meta>, <Super>, <Hyper>, <Mod[1-5]>
Preferences

ences.

Clipboards
generally checking all these boxes is appropriate.
History
Check 'Save history' to save history on close.
'Position history' - Set the location where history appears. If
unchecked, appears where the mouse is.
'X' - X location in pixels. 0 is top of screen.
'Y' - Y location in pixels. 0 is left of screen.
'Max Data Size (MB)' - Set Maximum amount of data to copy for
each entry in MBytes. 0 is no limit.
Miscellaneous
'Search As You Type' - If checked, does a search-as-you-type.
Turns red if not found. Goes to top (Alt-E) line when no chars
are entered for search
'Case Sensitive Search' - If checked, does case sensitive
search.
'Ignore Whitespace Only' - If checked, will ignore any clip‐
board additions that contain only whitespace.
'Trim Whitespace' - If checked, will trim whitespace from
beginning and end of entry.
'Trim Newlines' - If checked, will replace newlines with spa‐
ces.
Display Tab
'Show in Single line' does nothing.
'Show in reverse order' reverses the history so the first entry is
last and the last is first.
'Omit items' refers to omitting characters that don't fit in the his‐
tory window width. This is for display only.
History Dialog Behavior
Use the Ctrl or Shift key in conjunction with right-click.
If you hold Ctrl, then it toggles the delete on a single item.
If you hold Shift while holding down right-click (this is like a right-
drag), then it toggles each item as it enters the item.
To complete the delete, hit enter.
