XCLIPBOARD(1) General Commands Manual XCLIPBOARD(1) NAME xclipboard - X clipboard client SYNOPSIS xclipboard [ -toolkitoption ... ] [ -w ] [ -nw ] DESCRIPTION The xclipboard 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, xclipboard 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. Since xclipboard uses a Text Widget to display the contents of the clip- board, text sent to the CLIPBOARD may be re-selected for use in other ap- plications. xclipboard also responds to requests for the CLIPBOARD selec- tion from other clients by sending the entire contents of the currently displayed buffer. An xclipboard window has the following buttons across the top: quit When this button is pressed, xclipboard exits. delete When this button is pressed, the current buffer is deleted and the next one displayed. new Creates a new buffer with no contents. Useful in constructing a new CLIPBOARD selection by hand. save Displays a File Save dialog box. Pressing the Accept button saves the currently displayed buffer to the file specified in the text field. next Displays the next buffer in the list. previous Displays the previous buffer. OPTIONS The xclipboard program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options as well as the following: -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. -nw This option indicates that long lines of text should not wrap around. This is the default behavior. WIDGETS In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose xclipboard. In the notation below, indentation indi- cates hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given first, fol- lowed by the widget instance name.

Text is copied from the clipboard whenever a client requests the contents of the CLIPBOARD selection. Examples of event bind- ings that a user may wish to include in a resource configuration file to use the clipboard are: *VT100.Translations: #override \ <Btn3Up>: select-end(CLIPBOARD) \n\ <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY,CLIPBOARD) \n\ <Btn2Down>: ignore () SEE ALSO X(7), xcutsel(1), xterm(1), individual client documentation for how to make a selection and send it to the CLIPBOARD. ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
