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.

Linux clipboard app which has functionality to paste multiple things after copying them in one go. (lemmy.ml)

Edit: Everything seems too complicated, so I just went with this https://odysee.com/simplescreenrecorder-2023-09-03_11.02.17:a When you try to copy something, you copy something and then you paste it. This is fine, but I wish there was an app which would help me copy multiple items at different times and seamlessly help me paste it.

i.e., copy two things, press ctrl + v to paste the last thing you copied and press ctrl + shift + v to paste the last second thing you copied and so on.

I am pretty sure there are better ways to do this than what I am asking. So, I would be interested in those ways too.

you can’t only install kclipper that’s the app?

It would be a hell of a reason to switch DE, but KDE has a clipboard taskbar item. It remembers all your copies (until you clear the list), and you can click on an item to bring it back.

Perhaps you can, that makes sense

I guess I forgot how Linux worked, I was thinking it was just part of the system and not an "app", but there isn't really that distinction is there?

And you can set a keybind to switch to previous/next item so you could do something like ctrl+, ctrl+v

unfortunately, I wasn't able to get through to most people. Probably because of my bad English. I have a clipboard manager and I like it. But, i wanted something, which would paste the item copied before the last item when I press Ctrl + Shift + V just as it would post the last item copied when I press Ctrl + V

CopyQ works for me now, although I have to press Ctrl + Shift + C to copy the next item. It works. https://odysee.com/simplescreenrecorder-2023-09-03_11.02.17:a
