AUTOCUTSEL(1)						      General Commands Manual						     AUTOCUTSEL(1)

NAME

       autocutsel - keep the X clipboard and the cutbuffer in sync

SYNOPSIS

       autocutsel [-selection selection_name] [-cutbuffer number] [-debug] [-verbose] [-fork] [-pause milliseconds] [-buttonup]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the autocutsel command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       autocutsel tracks changes in the server's cutbuffer and clipboard selection.  When the clipboard is changed, it updates the cutbuffer.
       When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the clipboard selection.	The cutbuffer and clipboard selection are always synchronized.	Since the
       VNC client synchronizes the Windows' clipboard and the server's cutbuffer, all three "clipboards" are always kept synchronized.	When you
       copy some text in Windows, the cutbuffer and the clipboard selection are updated.  When you copy text on the server using either the cut-
       buffer or the clipboard selection, the Windows's clipboard is always updated.

OPTIONS

       -selection, -select, -sel, -s {CLIPBOARD|PRIMARY}
	      Specify which selection to use.  Default is CLIPBOARD.

       -cutbuffer <number>
	      (Details of this parameter unknown.)

       -debug, -d
	      Run with debugging mode.

       -verbose, -v
	      Be more verbose.	Reports the version and announces synchronizations.

       -fork, -f
	      Run as a daemon program in the background.  This is recommended when used from an X startup script.

       -pause, -p <milliseconds>
	      Wait some milliseconds before owning the selection.

       -buttonup
	      Get the selection only when the button 1 is not pressed.	This may help with OpenOffice Writer.

NAME

       xcutsel - interchange between cut buffer and selection

SYNOPSIS

       xcutsel [ -toolkitoption ...] [-selection selection] [-cutbuffer number]

DESCRIPTION

       The  xcutsel  program is used to copy the current selection into a cut buffer and to make a selection that contains the current contents of
       the cut buffer.	It acts as a bridge between applications that don't support selections and those that do.

       By default, xcutsel will use the selection named PRIMARY and the cut buffer CUT_BUFFER0.  Either or both of these can be overridden by com-
       mand line arguments or by resources.

       An xcutsel window has the following buttons:

	   quit
	       When this button is pressed, xcutsel exits.  Any selections held by xcutsel are automatically released.

	   copy PRIMARY to 0
	       When this button is pressed, xcutsel copies the current selection into the cut buffer.

	   copy 0 to PRIMARY
	       When this button is pressed, xcutsel converts the current contents of the cut buffer into the selection.

       The button labels reflect the selection and cutbuffer selected by command line options or through the resource database.

       When  the ``copy 0 to PRIMARY'' button is activated, the button will remain inverted as long as xcutsel remains the owner of the selection.
       This serves to remind you which client owns the current selection.  Note that the value of the selection remains constant; if the cutbuffer
       is changed, you must again activate the copy button to retrieve the new value when desired.

OPTIONS

       Xcutsel accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options as well as the following:

       -selection name
	       This  option specifies the name of the selection to use.  The default is PRIMARY.  The only supported abbreviations for this option
	       are ``-select'', ``-sel'' and ``-s'', as the standard toolkit option ``-selectionTimeout'' has a similar name.

       -cutbuffer number
	       This option specifies the cut buffer to use.  The default is cut buffer 0.

X DEFAULTS

       This program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit resource names and classes as well as:

       selection (class Selection)
	       This resource specifies the name of the selection to use.  The default is PRIMARY.

       cutBuffer (class CutBuffer)
	       This resource specifies the number of the cut buffer to use.  The default is 0.

WIDGET NAMES

       The following instance names may be used when user configuration of the labels in them is desired:

       sel-cut (class Command)
	       This is the ``copy SELECTION to BUFFER'' button.

       cut-sel (class Command)
	       This is the ``copy BUFFER to SELECTION'' button.

       quit (class Command)
	       This is the ``quit'' button.

BUGS

       There is no way to change the name of the selection or the number of the cut buffer while the program is running.
