A Linux alternative to CLCL. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Nakka / CLCL. FORMAT INSPECTOR • Lists every MIME format/X11 target currently offered on the CLIPBOARD or PRIMARY selection, with byte size, detected type, first bytes and a full hex dump. • Decoded text view (UTF-8/UTF-16) and image preview for PNG/JPEG/BMP/GIF data. • Save any single format to a file, keep only one format, or remove one format. SNAPSHOTS • Save the complete multi-format clipboard (all formats, raw bytes) to a local SQLite database and restore it later with every format intact. • Export/import snapshots as .cfsnap zip files with SHA-256 checked manifest. TEXT TOOLS • 30 transforms: case changes, trim, remove empty lines, sort (A-Z, natural, numeric), unique, reverse, number lines, Base64 and URL encode/decode, HTML escape, JSON pretty/minify, strip HTML, slugify, SHA-256/MD5 — on an editor or directly on the live clipboard. "Strip formatting" leaves plain text only. TEMPLATES • Snippets with variables: {date} {time} {datetime} {date:%d/%m/%Y} {clipboard} {selection} {user} {hostname} {home} {uuid} {counter}. • Tray menu and a global-hotkey quick menu (XGrabKey, default Ctrl+Alt+C) with templates, transforms and snapshots. LIMITATIONS (honest) • Designed for X11. Under Wayland it works via XWayland; the global hotkey only works on X11 sessions. The tray icon needs a desktop with a system tray. • When the app that owns the clipboard quits, X11 drops its data — save a snapshot first.
