About

GNOME Clipboard Manager is an application to manage your selections a.k.a. clipboards.

Short: GNOME Clipboard Manager for Gnome 2.0 desktops (Gcm-2) is an application for managing selections a.k.a. clipboards and their available targets. It autocollects selections and their targets on a shelf and also has the option to choose which selection is to be pasted when an application sends a request for the selection (a.k.a. the clipboard) in a specific target. Selections can be edited, manually created, merged, deleted, saved to files, loaded from files, copied, and pasted. The available selection types are clipboard, primary, secondary or a custom atom.
