Paste from clipboard managers
Read clipboard items from following clipboard managers,
- Parcellite (http://parcellite.sourceforge.net) on Linux
- ClipIt (http://clipit.sourceforge.net) on Linux
- Greenclip (https://github.com/erebe/greenclip) on Linux
- Flycut (https://github.com/TermiT/Flycut) on macOS
Usage:
Make sure clipboard manager is running.
If you use Flycut on macOS, set up "Preferences > General > Clippings",
so its value is "Save After each clip".
"M-x cliphist-paste-item" to paste item from history
"C-u M-x cliphist-paste-item" rectangle paste item
"M-x cliphist-select-item" to select item
You can customize `cliphist-select-item',
For example, if you use xclip (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/xclip.html),
(require 'xclip)
(setq cliphist-select-item-callback
(lambda (num str)
(xclip-set-selection 'clipboard str)))
If `cliphist-cc-kill-ring' is true, the selected/pasted string
will be inserted into kill-ring.
Set `cliphist-linux-clipboard-managers', `cliphist-macos-clipboard-managers',
`cliphist-windows-clipboard-managers' to add your own clipboard managers.
Here are steps to support a new clipboard manager named "myclip" on Linux.
Step 1, create a file "cliphist-myclip.el" with below content,
(require 'cliphist-sdk)
(defun cliphist-my-read-items ()
(let (rlt
(items '("clip1" "clip2")))
(dolist (item items)
(cliphist-sdk-add-item-to-cache rlt item))
rlt))
(provide 'cliphist-myclip)
Step 2, add "(push "myclip" cliphist-linux-clipboard-managers)" into "~/.emacs".
Set `cliphist-greenclip-program' if greenclip program is not added into
environment variable PATH.
