    Specifically for GNOME there are numerous extensions where at least one of them can be assigned hotkeys for: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard-indicat...

    KDE ships klipper by default which is the same thing and works fantastically. Supports multimedia and is fast, I only wish it had a cli tool instead of having to use xclip or qdbus. On windows I find ditto much more performant than the native clipboard manager.

      I use sway so just made a bash script that's a couple of lines to join cliphist, tofi, wl-copy, wtype, together to the same effect.

      Holy crap I've been using KDE for years and I didn't know about Meta+V.

      I'll pay it forward by sharing another shortcut: Meta+. for emoji picker.

    The emoji and symbol picker on Windows 10 has type-to-search for emojis but not for symbols. It's such an annoying restriction. It's quicker to find and copy symbols from the web than trying to find them in the picker.

    I don't know if Windows 11 is the same, but I hope this software hasn't copied it if it is.

    I didn't even know super+v on Windows. Not to sound all entitled about opensource software but can we get a screenshot on GNOME? Maybe on both?

    What do people use on mac? The clipboard manager inside spotlight feels cumbersome to use

    is this caching of copied data encrypted at all?
