What are Clipboard Managers for Linux?
Clipboard managers are software tools that enhance the functionality of the standard clipboard by allowing users to store, manage, and access multiple clipboard items at once. These tools enable users to copy multiple pieces of data (text, images, files, etc.) and store them for later use, making it easier to manage and retrieve past clipboard items. Features often include organizing clipboard history, creating custom shortcuts, and searching through previous clipboard entries. Clipboard managers are particularly useful for individuals who frequently copy and paste content and need to keep track of various snippets of information over time. By improving productivity and reducing the need for repetitive copying, these tools save time and streamline workflows.

Klipper
KDE
The traditional expectation of a clipboard is that you can copy a section of text in order to paste it elsewhere. If you copy a section, the previous one is lost. Klipper solves this problem at a stroke. The item you copied last will still be the default one to be pasted, but others will have been stored in a buffer, so you can choose to paste your selections in a different order. Even the number of items stored in the buffer can be configured! Click on the icon on your tray or panel, and you will see the possible selections, as well as some options. Possibly the two items most important to you on the general tab are whether you want the clipboard to start up empty or to retain its contents across sessions, and whether to synchronize the clipboard contents and selection. If you write scripts or work in programming this section is for you. Actions based on regular expressions can be set here.Starting Price: Free -
