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  footprint
     for those who like simplicity.

     Parcellite  features a clipboard CLI. Unrecognized options and the contents
     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 dialog.

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  (de-
	    pending 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 clipboard.
     "%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  sin-
     gle quotes '%s' to feed your action with env variables without shell expan-
     sion.  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

Hotkeys
      The available hotkey  modifiers  are  <Ctrl>,  <Alt>  <Shift>,  <Release>,
     <Meta>, <Super>, <Hyper>, <Mod[1-5]>

Preferences
     Right-click  on  the  parcellite  icon in the systray to access the prefer-
     ences.

Behavior Tab
     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  clipboard
	    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 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 effect.
     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 entry.

      '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 history
     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.
