Where Does Parcellite Store Settings?
Parcellite keeps clipboard history settings and ignore rules in a small config file in home on Linux. Path and backup routine.
Last updated
Parcellite is a lightweight clipboard manager with one small config file in home. History length, ignore patterns and hotkeys live there. Clips stay in daemon memory.
That tiny footprint makes moves one copy. The GTK tray icon exposes history while the file tunes retention. Back up the file and every desktop matches.
Where Parcellite stores this, by platform
~/.config/parcellite/parcelliterc
History size, ignore rules and hotkeys in one file. Clips stay in daemon memory. Copy with Parcellite quit for a clean snapshot.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Parcellite settings?
Copy the parcellite config with Parcellite quit. History size, ignore rules and hotkeys travel with it. Clips themselves live in memory, so only behavior moves across machines.
Where are my clips?
In memory inside the Parcellite daemon. The config file only tunes history length and exclusions. Restarting clears clips while settings persist. Pair it with a panel applet for the popup menu.
