Wayland clipboard manager that will make you clap 👏

Last update: Jan 28, 2023

Overview

Clapboard - clipboard manager that makes you clap 👏

Clapboard is a simple clipboard manager for Wayland, built in Rust. It saves a history of your clipboard usage, and lets you paste things you've copied earlier. It also lets you configure "favorite" pastes for strings you need often. For example, you can set favorites with your address, phone number, email address etc - and they'll all become just a few clicks away.

video.webm

Requirements

tofi or any other dmenu-like program (wofi, rofi, dmenu)
wl-clipboard

Installation

From source

git clone the repository
Run cargo build --release
copy the clapboard executable to your PATH

Arch Linux

Clapboard is available on AUR as clapboard-git.

Usage

clapboard store STRING should run whenever something is copied. If you're using Sway, just add this to your ~/.config/sway/config:

exec wl-paste --watch bash -c "xargs -0 -I{} clapboard store {}"
exec wl-paste -p --watch bash -c "xargs -0 -I{} clapboard store {}"

Optionally, bind some key to run clapboard. I'm binding the Favorites key in Sway like this:

bindsym XF86Favorites exec clapboard

Configuration

Below is the default Clapboard configuration. If you want to change it, create a similar file at ~/.config/clapboard/config.toml

launcher = [ "tofi", "--fuzzy-match=true", "--prompt-text=clap: " ]
history_size = 50

[favorites]
# You can add your favorite clipboard pastes here like this:
# "some key" = "some value"

Fun fact

Clapboard was originally built in Python and later converted to Rust with the help of ChatGPT.
