I can't control it via environmental variables #207

Closed Archie-2021 closed 1 year ago

All the default values for $CM_* variables are empty, and when I set a value to them in my .bashrc it shows the value but does nothing to clipmenu behavior. Like I this line in my bashrc:

export CM_SELECTIONS="clipboard"

but it is still saves data from primary clipboard.

Then your session is not being instantiated after your bashrc is read. bashrc is not for environmental variables, so don't use it for that -- use your profile or other facilities provided by your DE.

I also added it to the script I give my DE when initializes, but nothing happened.

Sorry, but I'm not going to spend time debugging your DE/distro's environment propagation -- please contact your distro support.
