#### A simple clipboard manager for Linux

A minimal, simple, modern clipboard manager for Linux (Wayland/X11), built with Electron and React.

Features

* **Modern UI**: Clean, GNOME-inspired design with system theme support.
* **In-Memory History**: Stores clipboard entries during your current session.
* **Image support**: Stores both text and screenshots.

Usage

Miniclip monitors your clipboard and stores a history of entries.

* **Arrows**: Move across items in the list.
* **Enter**: Copy an item back to the clipboard.
* **Delete**: Remove an item.
* **Filter**: Find a specific item.

By default, Miniclip starts hidden in the system tray. To show the window, click the tray icon or run:
`miniclip show`

Global Shortcut (Wayland & X11)

Due to security limitations in modern display servers like **Wayland**, applications are often restricted from registering global keybindings while they don't have focus.

This is why it is recommend setting up a system-level shortcut. This ensures the best performance and compatibility with your desktop environment.

Setting up a shortcut in GNOME

1. Open **Settings** -> **Keyboard** -> **View and Customize Shortcuts**.
2. Go to **Custom Shortcuts** -> **Add Shortcut**.
3. **Name**: `Miniclip Show`
4. **Command**: `miniclip show`
5. **Shortcut**: Your preferred combo (e.g., `Super+V` or `Ctrl+Alt+G`).
