delete items from clipboard history about clipster HOT 6 CLOSED

My plan is that --delete should work with strings or patterns (regexes) - I think it would not get used much if it took positional arguments.

I can see use cases for both exact matches and partial matches though. Partial matches with regex would be great for things like: --delete \b\S+\/\/.+:.+@ to remove accidentally cached urls with passwords in them. However I'm not sure if I want to force people to understand regexes to delete exact matches, i.e. --delete fish is friendlier than --delete ^fish$

Perhaps we need both --delete and --delete-pattern? Or maybe I'm over-thinking this!

Added use of <del> key in UI to delete items (multiple-row selection is also now possible).

Adding multi-select means that mouse button doesn't 'activate' the selection - will need to add a 'submit' button or similar to provide continued mouse functionality.

Very useful functionality. Are you deleting items by matching the currently selected item as a string or using an key/index associated with the item selected when pressing <del>? I'm just thinking forward to how the --delete command line option will work.

Select button added to allow continued mouse operation: 1007d66

I think providing both would add versatility. Maybe with an option -r for regex.

Simple command-line delete functionality added in 8deadbe (though actually use HEAD if you want to test this, as the documentation updates etc happened in later commits).

  -r [DELETE], --delete [DELETE]
                        Delete from clipboard. Deletes matching text, or if no
                        argument given, deletes last item.

So -r alone deletes last item, and -r secret will delete the clipboard entry secret.

I'm going to close this issue for now - if extended delete functionality is really needed we can open a new issue for regex deletes etc.
