### Clipboard Managers
_Starting method:_ manual (`exec-once`)
Clipboard Managers are useful tools that allows one to manage their copied items, be-it texts or images.
Some common ones used are `copyq`, `clipman` and `cliphist`.
`clipman` - Utilizes Wayland with `wl-clipboard` support and stores text only [clipman](https://github.com/yory8/clipman)
`cliphist` - Utilizes Wayland with `wl-clipboard` and can store both images and text [cliphist](https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist)
##cliphist
Start by adding the following lines to your `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`
```ini
exec-once = wl-paste --type text --watch cliphist store #Stores only text data
exec-once = wl-paste --type image --watch cliphist store #Stores only image data
```
Do note that any of the above lines can be disabled based on your needs
To bind `cliphist` to a hotkey and display it under `rofi` or `dmenu`, again head over to `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`
#For `rofi` users
```ini
bind = SUPER, V, exec, cliphist list | rofi -dmenu | cliphist decode | wl-copy
```
#For `dmenu` users
```ini
bind = SUPER, V, exec, cliphist list | dmenu | cliphist decode | wl-copy
```
The binds mention above correspond to SUPER+V to access the clipboard history
For further info, please refer to the repository mentioned above
##clipman
Start by adding the following line to your `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`
```ini
exec-once = wl-paste -t text --watch clipman store --no-persist
```
If you wish to use it as a primary clipboard manager, use this instead
```ini
exec-once = wl-paste -p -t text --watch clipman store -P --histpath="~/.local/share/clipman-primary.json"
```
And also make sure to create a file named `clipman-primary.json` in `~/.local/share/clipman-primary.json`
Now bind the `clipman` like this:
#For `rofi` users
```ini
bind = SUPER, V, clipman pick -t wofi
```
#For `dmenu` users
```ini
bind = SUPER, V, clipman pick -t dmenu
```
So on and so forth. For further information, please refer to the repository mentioned above
