Add new clipcli to seperate clipboard management from dmenu

[simonhughxyz]

So this is my improved solution to a a problem I solved in #161

I have added a new script called clipcli which handles the clipboard management. It has 2 commands

• clipcli list: prints a list of clips.
• clipcli get: retrieves a clip based on its input.

So you can build your own scripts using clipcli list | fzf | clipcli get

I think this is a better solution because I believe that the clipboard management should be independent of whatever menu of fuzzy finder you use.

I have converted clipmenu to use the new script but kept the cli of clipmenu the same for backwards compatibility, but I think it may be a good idea to depreciate it and introduce separate scripts for dmenu, fzf, rofi etc

This would allow people to build their own scripts more easily, as a possible suggestion you could have a new dir in this repo or another repo with user scrips people can publish.

This was made in a bit of a rush, so I might have missed some things.

My appologies - did not look commits before writing what I did before. Finally - what's really missing, but could be there.

I thought, clipcli takes commands from stdin coninuously, but it's not. Imho, persistant daemon would be useful, moreover it's shell script, whose runing creates significant overhead.

Also - the most effective way could be if actual job was done by clipmenud, providing named pipe to control itself (enable/disable commands could also use this interface). In this case there would be no possible race from different cli accessing cache - clipmenud would do everything.

++ In later case all ui, including clipmenu, could talk to clipmenud cirectly, with clipcli being just one of them.

clipmenu is now in C, so closing since this applies to the old bash version. Thanks for your work on this, though!
