This is a clipboard module we created for the Bodhi Linux's e17 fork, Moksha. Despite being developed for Moksha, it should work on any e17 Desktop meeting the requirements below.
Clipboard currently is a simple, basic features clipboard manager. It maintains a history of text copied to the clipboard from which you can choose with a bare minimum of configuration options. Our main ambition, aside from learning EFL and enlightenment module programming, was to make it light on system resources with no additional dependencies, integrate in a natural way with the e17/Moksha desktops and be a usable alternative to other clipboard managers (Parcellite, CopyQ, glipper etc.).
- Text only clipboard management. Sorry no image support.
- Stores a clipboard history of customizable length.
- Clipboard contents are preserved even when you close applications
- Uses either or both Primary or Clipboard clipboards.
- Synchronize clipboards.
- Several View options to display items the way you like.
- Global hotkeys with configurable e17/Moksha key bindings.
- Functions with or without a gadget added to the desktop or a shelf.
- Does not need or use a system tray.
This module is currently in a pre-release beta state. It is more a proof of concept than an actual application. Hopefully in time that will change. We make no guarantees that it will function correctly and meet your needs. We fully admit to not really knowing what we doing: this is an educational project for us. It is mostly untested except briefly by the developers and has been and most likely will continue to be in rapid development. This may mean that on occasion this package may even fail to build. This software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, expressed or implied.
We currently only support Linux and the X Window System clipboards so sorry users of other Operating systems and Display Servers. It is also worth noting we currently only build using the gcc compiler, other compilers remain untested due to a lack of time. Patches are however accepted.
It should build without any issues on any system meeting the above reguirements as well as meeting the reguirements for building e17 itself.
