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.

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