Clipboard Format Tool

Clipboard Format Tool shows exactly what is on your Linux clipboard and lets you
save, restore and reshape it. A Linux alternative to 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.
