clipsim is a simple and fast X clipboard manager. It retrieves clipboard text when the window owning it is closed, and keeps a clipboard history.
If an image is detected, it is saved in /tmp, and the respective filename is saved on history. The primary and secondary selection buffers are ignored. When copying text equal to some previous text, the history order is updated so that each entry is unique in the history. Additionally, clipsim can send a signal to a specific program when clipboard content changes, which is useful for updating a status bar.
This is free and open source software.
