clipmenud is the daemon that collects and caches what's on the clipboard.
when you want to select a clip.
Environment variables:
- $CM_DEBUG: turn on debugging output (default: 0)
- $CM_DIR: specify the base directory to store the cache dir in (default: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, $TMPDIR, or /tmp)
- $CM_MAX_CLIPS: soft maximum number of clips to store, 0 for inf. At $CM_MAX_CLIPS + 100, the number of clips is reduced to $CM_MAX_CLIPS (default: 1000)
- $CM_ONESHOT: run once immediately, do not loop (default: 0)
- $CM_OWN_CLIPBOARD: take ownership of the clipboard. Note: this may cause missed copies if some other application also handles the clipboard directly (default: 0)
- $CM_SELECTIONS: space separated list of the selections to manage (default: "clipboard primary")
- $CM_IGNORE_WINDOW: disable recording the clipboard in windows where the windowname matches the given regex (e.g. a password manager), do not ignore any windows if unset or empty (default: unset)
