copy-to-clipsec - copies or moves a marked text to the clipboard or to the secondary selection without overwriting the primary selection and saves it for later use (provided by Starbuntu)

copy-to-clipsec [-s -x]

The Starbuntu program copy-to-clipsec copies marked text either to the clipboard (hotkey: Ctrl+Super+c) or with the parameter '-s' to the secondary selection (hotkey: Ctrl+Shift+c). Afterwards the primary selection gets restored to its previous value.

If you add the parameter '-x' then the marked text will be cut. In this case you call the program with the hotkey Ctrl+Super+x for the clipboard or with Ctrl+Shift+x for the secondary selection.

The contents of the secondary selection or of the clipboard get saved in their history files secondary resp. tertiary in the folder $HOME/.local/share/clipboard for later use.

-s  Marked text gets copied to the secondary selection and not to the clipboard (default)
-x  Marked text will be cut.
