There was an error when your CLIPFILE and/or CLIPASSETS path contains spaces. This has been fixed in v1.5+, please upgrade!
Daily use has shown that clippings accumulate rather fast, making one big Clipboard file unwieldy. I have added a comment in the code on how to have clipit automatically create Daily Clipboards (“YYYY-MM-DD Clipboard.md”), much like the Daily Notes.
The question has come up if this tool somehow interacts with Obsidian or could be used standalone.
No, it doesn’t require Obsidian, and can be used standalone! You can adjust CLIPFILE and the CLIPASSETS path to anything you want; there’s no requirement to point these into your vault (although that’s really helpful).
It is a system-wide tool and can be used to clip (almost) anything from anywhere. Think web page snippets, code snippets from your editor, text from your preferred text editor, clips from the terminal, etc.
