scm - simple clipboard manager

scm is a minimalist clipboard manager for X.

Requirements

In order to build scm you need the Xlib and Xfixes header files. It is also expected that you have dmenu installed.

Simply run make and then (as root) make install to install scm.

Running scm

The user is required to set a cache directory for scm (via the -d flag), this directory will store all clipboard entries that scm gets so it is important to set the permissions for the directory accordingly.

In this repository you will find a scmd script that sets up a cache directory in the users $HOME/.cache directory.

To interact with scm, a dmenu wrapper script (scmenu) is provided. The script allows the user to select and copy the entries in to their clipboard.

See the scm(1) manpage for more information.
