GNOME Clipboard Manager - Documentation
Using
Index
- Using GCM is actually a little bit too simple for me to explain. But I'll try
while I know that I am very bad at writing documentation. If you are more experienced
in writing English and application Documentation : feel free to help me writing this
documentation. Like most programmers, I hate writing documentation at all :-).
Read my code if you want to know how it works ! ha !! :-)
- Basic functionality
- Collecting selections on the clipboard shelf : In the Preferences window you can set an option
that will auto-collect new selections. If you have this option turned off then
you can still get the current selection by clicking the "Get current" button
in the toolbar.
- Setting the current selection : When you click a collected selection in the clipboard
shelf it will be set. This means that the selection-data of GCM will be set to the data
that was collected for this item; and the selectionownership will be given to GCM. In English
that means : When you paste then it will drop a copy of what is in the item at your cursor
position :-). (hey! I am pretty good at writing documentation ! whow, cool. -yes, I know
that that aint true-).
- Editing a collected selection : double click on an item in the clipboard shelf to
start editing that item.
- Sending an item to another host running GCM : This aint possible yet
- Paste multiple clipboards at once : see the Advanced manual.
- The "Copy" in GCM does two things : It keeps a copy of all selected items in memory
for when you "Paste" in GCM. It also reclaims selection ownership on all selected
items (multiple pasting).
- The "Paste" in GCM will paste the items that "Copy" kept in memory for you to the
clipboard shelf.
