NAME
       Parcellite - Lightweight	GTK+ Clipboard Manager

SYNOPSIS
       parcellite [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  EX-
       AMPLES.

       Look at the tool	tips by	hovering over each item	in the prefrences dia-
       log.

OPTIONS
       -?, --help
	      Show help	options

       Parcellite by default runs as daemon. In	this mode Parcellite will keep
       your clipboard
	      and  primary  contents  safe.   It also displays the status Icon
	      (depending on -n)	and preferences.

       -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. Use %% if you	want a literal %.  See
       the man page for	gnuC printf (man 2 printf) for more information.

CLI EXAMPLES
	echo "copied to	clipboard" | parcellite
	parcellite "copied to clipboard"
	echo "copied to	clipboard" | parcellite	-c

Behavior Tab
       Clipboards
	      generally	checking all these boxes is appropriate.

       History
	       Check 'Save history' to save history on close.

	      unchecked, appears where the mouse is.

	       '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 be-
	      ginning and end of entry.

	       'Trim Newlines'	-  If  checked,	 will  replace	newlines  with
	      spaces.

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.

	'Persistent History' Adds a list that is permanent and never goes
       away.

	'Persistent As Separate	List' Enables the persistent history hotkey,
       and the persistent history will appear with this	key.

	'Persistent On Top' If the above option	is checked, this has no	ef-
       fect. Otherwise,	if this	option is checked the Persistent History will
       appear on the top of the	list. Unchecked, it appears on the bottom.

	'Paste All Entry Delimiter' Delimiter to denote	start of a history en-
       try.

	'Alternate Non-printing	Display' If checked, displays tabs, newlines,
       and spaces with alternate characters.

	'Omit items' refers to omitting	characters that	don't fit in the his-
       tory window width. This is for display only.

	'Multiuser' If checked,	enables	checking for multiple users.

	'Parcellite Icon Name' Sets the	name of	the Parcellite icon. This name
       is used by gnome, which usually looks in	/usr/share/pixmaps. See	the
       Open Desktop Spec for more details.

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.
