clipboard.sh

download greenclip from https://github.com/erebe/greenclip/releases
put `greenclip` in $PATH (i did put it in /usr/bin)

under ~/.config, create 1 file `.config/greenclip.toml`


*.config/greenclip.toml*
```BASH
[greenclip]
  blacklisted_applications = []
  enable_image_support = true
  history_file = "/home/tunknown/.cache/greenclip.history"
  image_cache_directory = "/tmp/greenclip"
  max_history_length = 500
  max_selection_size_bytes = 0
  static_history = ["Greenclip has been updated to v4.1, update your new config file at ~/.config/greenclip.toml"]
  trim_space_from_selection = true
  use_primary_selection_as_input = false
```
> N.B: change `/home/tunknown` to your home directory, you can check `cd ~ && pwd`

# create a startup app with 
`greenclip daemon &>/dev/null & disown`

sudo apt install -y rofi xdotool xclip


under ~/.config/rofi, create 2 files `nord.rasi` and `config.rasi`

```
mkdir ~/.config/rofi
echo '' > ~/.config/rofi/nord.rasi
echo '' > ~/.config/rofi/config.rasi
```
