From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can you get Clipboard History on Gnome+Wayland? (mander.xyz)

I wanted a simple clipboard history on Win+V.

I've installed CopyQ - it's ugly, starts with a lag and doesn't quite work on Super+V shortcut. I've switched to Wayland and it silently stopped working altogether.

Next, I've installed Gnome Clipboard History Extension - it looks good, fast, works on Super+V, but for some reason it can't paste into Kate text editor.

Is it possible to get a reliable clipboard history manager on Gnome+Wayland, or should I stop wasting my time? Maybe someone has a working solution?

I am a little but frustrated by the obstacles I encounter trying to get this simple feature.

I use Clipboard Indicator Gnome Extension - well maintained and works flawlessly for me.

Edit: Also pasting in Kate if that's of any concern

I was using fork of this extension. Original one you've mentioned works in Kate too, thanks! I hope I will not return to this question anymore. I think this one has a bad name, it's easy to overlook it in search through gnome extensions website.

Copyous

I use copyq on wayland everyday. But not gnome, on hyprland.

Mentioning since you say you don't like ugly, I use Pano (on Gnome 49/Fedora 43) and have no issues with Kate (current version from Flathub) and it looks pretty (imo) as it does little thumbnails for everything. Although I've been meaning to try Copyous as it has that + at pointer paste.

Cliphist sounds like it might work for you. Depending on what's running under Gnome you might need a few dependencies.

I use wl-clipboard for wayland with another distro.

I use clips on Elementary OS, I don't know how well it works with other distros.
