NAME

       remote-clipboard - manage a shared and possibly remote clipboard

DESCRIPTION

       Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the selection popup that
       allows one to run external commands to store the selection somewhere and fetch it again.

       We use it to implement a "distributed selection mechanism", which just means that one
       command uploads the file to a remote server, and another reads it.

       The commands can be set using the "URxvt.remote-selection.store" and
       "URxvt.remote-selection.fetch" resources. The first should read the selection to store
       from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should provide the selection data on STDOUT (also
       in UTF-8).

       The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:

          URxvt.remote-selection.store: rsh ruth 'cat >/tmp/distributed-selection'
          URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection'
