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

  • 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...

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Gnome already has a clipboard manager (maybe it's https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard-indicat..., but can't be sure if that's what I'm using since I'm not at home) which can be bound to super+v.

    It's better than the Windows equivalent because

    1. It loads instantly rather than taking 2-3 seconds like the Windows version, which is super annoying

    2. It retains the clipboard history across reboots, unlike the Windows version

    3. It doesn't have a limit to the number of pastes saved, unlike Windows which has a limit of I think 10, so you can find entries from weeks ago

    4. It's searchable

    5. There's an incognito mode for when you need to copy and paste a bunch of things which you won't need later, or when you're copying sensitive information

    Big fan, one of those things that are such a UX improvement that make using Windows feel like a hassle.

  • 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.
