  • I use parcellite. Sensible UI, has all the functionality I need and it’s not tied to any desktop environment.
    The functionality I care about:

    • history, including customizable persistent entries
    • customizable key bindings
    • handles both primary and selection and can sync them
    • can trim whitespace
    • can launch customizable actions on the active entry


  • One thing that is difficult to do though is adding a custom search engine query that is not already offered in the OpenSearch XML format. For example, how would you go about making https://lemmy.world/search?type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll&q=%s the default search engine pattern?

    When I tried to do something similar I ended up creating and serving the XML from my own web server. Would love to know if there is an easier way. It used to be trivial to do via preferences.

    Edit, sorry, Lemmy insists on turning ampersands into & for some reason, here it is the example URL pattern as a link

    Also, this support post has some discussion on the issue.
