 |
|
hello,
you need to emerge dev-lang/go, gui-apps/wl-clipboard and gui-apps/rofi-wayland <<< from guru overlay.
additional info howto handle multiple repositories look here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8659032-highlight-.html#8659032
and download cliphist source code from (you need dev-vcs/git) :
git clone https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist.git
installing cliphist is easy >>> go install go.senan.xyz/cliphist
copy just generated cliphist (bin) from ~/go/bin to /usr/bin
or you can try with downloadable binary at (never tried myself):
download from https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist/releases/tag/v0.5.0
or via go install go.senan.xyz/cliphist@latest
---
entries for sway config:
! thanks to Manjaro - best implementation, imho !
# if-exists autostarts
| Code: | exec {
'[ -x "$(command -v wl-paste)" ] && [ -x "$(command -v cliphist)" ] && wl-paste --watch cliphist store'
'[ -x "$(command -v wl-paste)" ] && [ -x "$(command -v cliphist)" ] && wl-paste --watch pkill -RTMIN+9 waybar'
} |
# Launch // Clipboard ##
| Code: | | bindsym $mod+y exec $clipboard |
change it to whatever available key you want !
# clipboard history
| Code: | set $clipboard cliphist list | rofi -dmenu -m -1 -font "Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font 9" -p "Select item to copy" -lines 10 -width 35 | cliphist decode | wl-copy
set $clipboard-del cliphist list | rofi -dmenu -m -1 primary -font "Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font 9" -p "Select item to delete" -lines 10 -width 35 | cliphist delete |
---
entries for waybar config:
| Code: | | "custom/clipboard", |
to enable custom entry
and (icon hex is f0ea):
| Code: | "custom/clipboard": {
"format": "",
"interval": "once",
"return-type": "json",
"on-click": "swaymsg -q exec '$clipboard'; pkill -RTMIN+9 waybar",
"on-click-right": "swaymsg -q exec '$clipboard-del'; pkill -RTMIN+9 waybar",
"on-click-middle": "rm -f ~/.cache/cliphist/db; pkill -RTMIN+9 waybar",
"exec": "printf '{\"tooltip\":\"%s\"}' $(cliphist list | wc -l)' item(s) in the clipboard\r(Mid click to clear)'",
"exec-if": "[ -x \"$(command -v cliphist)\" ] && [ $(cliphist list | wc -l) -gt 0 ]",
"signal": 9
}, |
---
this is my rofi (user) config in .config/rofi/config.rasi:
| Code: | configuration {
timeout {
action: "kb-cancel";
delay: 0;
}
filebrowser {
directories-first: true;
sorting-method: "name";
}
}
@import "paper-float" |
that's it 
now you get an icon on waybar - middle click will delete the history - it'll look like this:

sway/waybar sometimes doesn't work correctly after reloading config via mod+shift+c - better restart your computer and you're good to go
EDIT:
this is my first ebuild - works for me, i hope it'll work for you too, no guarantee
