cliped

Write to clipboard using your favorite $EDITOR.

Dependencies

Only dependency is xsel (OpenBSD already has a package for it).

Usage

If $EDITOR is unset, default to vi(1).

• cliped : create a new clip
• cliped last : bring up the last entry from cliped
• cliped clean : clean all cliped-created files

Just add some shortcut to run it via your window manager and you're set. For example, in spectrwm I set:

program[cliped]      = xterm -name 'clipedterm' -title 'clipedterm' -fs 18 -e 'cliped'
program[clipedlast]  = xterm -name 'clipedterm' -title 'clipedterm' -fs 18 -e 'cliped last'

and define the following shortcuts:

bind[cliped]      = MOD+i
bind[clipedlast]  = MOD+Shift+i
