Programs
The following programs specifically operate on data transfer mechanisms:
- xcutsel transfers data from selections to cut buffers or vice versa
- xclipboard, glipper (Gnome), parcellite (LXDE), and klipper (KDE) are clipboard managers, maybe wmcliphist as well
- xcb shows the content of the cut buffers and allows the user to manipulate them
- xselection, xclip, xsel and xcopy are command line programs that copy data to or from the X selection. xcopy has a verbosity option that helps debug X selection issues. parcellite also has the ability to read from and write to specific X selections from the command line.
- synergy is a cross platform tool that allows you to share a clipboard across multiple computers running multiple operating systems
- xfce4-clipman-plugin is a "clipboard history plugin for the Xfce4 panel" and also a clipboard manager
- xtranslate looks up words in the Xselection in a multi-lingual dictionary
- autocutsel syncs cut buffer and selection buffer

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
