I figured out that when you delete a lot off entries too fast by pressing the delete key, it makes the app crash and then you're not able to reopen in if you doesn't kill the process before.

I installed clipped earlier and do not remember which hotkey I installed. Where can I set this up? can this be done intuitively?

After uninstalling Clipped through AppCenter, the application still appears in the Startup list, and is in fact marked to be opened when the system starts.

Currently, this app isn't available on the eOS 6.0 app center, I'm going to build it to get the app working but just thought there should be an issue.

Update: Works 100% when built manually.

I can open only once, then doesn't work, must logout and login again

Hello, how are you David?

Your app is the best, and would like to use it in the upcoming eOS6, but for now, it is not possible, and couldn't compile.

Thanks for the amazing software you did, and hope it someday bundles default in eOS.

Howdy,

After paying, and putting in my admin password, the install failed saying it was "not available". I am not seeing a way to re-trigger the install without re-paying... I did get the "thank you for your purchase" email, which directed me here to request help. Not sure if this is an issue with clipped, or with the app center, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

It would be great if there was an option to completely clear the clipboard.

As you might have heard, AppCenter is going Flatpak! For elementary OS 6, we will not longer be accepting Debian packaging, so your app will need to be updated.

We have documentation on our developer guide for writing your Flatpak manifest here: https://docs.elementary.io/develop/writing-apps/our-first-app/packaging#flatpak-manifest

Also, in case you missed it, elementary OS 6 beta 2 is now available. This is a great time to get your app packaged up as Flatpak and test that everything is working before the final release. AppCenter submission for OS 6 will be open soon, so don't delay :)

First of all, thanks for this app! It's probably the most useful one on my system right now!

For me, everything works great, except for some small issue that happens sometimes. I realize the root of this might actually be something in Gala, but I think it is not that hard to solve within this app.

What happens is the following situation:

1. I have the text "Avocado" on my clipboard currently
2. I click into a text field, open Clipped with Super+V, and select the text "Guacamole"
3. Clipped window closes
4. The text "Avocado" is pasted in the text field (the one I had before using Clipped!)
5. If I do Ctrl+V after this, it correctly pastes "Guacamole"

So, what I get from this behavior is that, for some reason, the text is being pasted before the selected entry is actually added to the clipboard. This might be caused by some delay in the clipboard API? I'm not sure. But I think the fix would just involve making sure the clipboard was changed before doing the paste action.

System Info

Translating appdata.xml file will help people to know about your app in the AppCenter. For example mostly French users won't download the app if it's description is in English, 'cause they will think that the app isn't translated and won't take time to read if its not translated.

i installed using this method...

git clone https://github.com/davidmhewitt/clipped
cd clipped
meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja
sudo ninja install

1. Assign any hotkey to clipped.
2. Press the hotkey, clipped window appears.
3. Instead of selecting any of the clips, close window with same hotkey.
4. Press the hotkey again, to call clipped again.

If I change hotkey to new one, I can repeat those four steps again.

Hi,

Enhancement Idea: Have the option to pin selected items in the list so that they stay in their pinned place. For example, if you pinned the item in line 3 it will stay there until unpinned, this way, if it is used often, it can always be accessed quickly in the same way.

Some apps don't accept Ctrl-V as the shortcut to paste content. We need to handle this by allowing for configurable custom paste shortcuts for certain apps and detecting when trying to paste into that app.

I can't find a way to delete entries out of the clipboard. Is there a way?
A short tutorial of the possibilities of clipped would be cool too.

I'm not sure if this is within your scope (since elementary doesn't use Wayland...yet), but I've found a reliable segfault when I run the app on Wayland. This only happens on GNOME Wayland, not Pantheon or GNOME X11. When it tries to execute the paste command manager.paste () (Application.vala, line 48) it fails and exits. It seems like this is an issue with trying to perform the X11 key command, which makes sense since there isn't an X11 session. So I'm not sure if there's anything you can do about this, but it's a fairly silent-seeming crash (since I expect the window to exit anyway when I select something!) which is confusing.
Here's the Valgrind stack trace:

If you can't access keys on Wayland, here's a suggestion of how you could maybe deal with it:
Perhaps together with #6 / #52 there could be a more elegant failure that just saves the clipboard contents and doesn't attempt to send a key command? I don't have much knowledge in the mechanics of clipboard things, so I don't know if that's possible, but it would be nice.

Pressing the shortcut multiple times opens multiple instances of the app. Multiple ESC key presses are required to exit all the windows.

This behaviour would be typical of the elementary OS shortcut paradigm.

Should be able to store a history of images that have been copied to the clipboard as well as text.

I disabled natural copy/paste in the terminal that way I continue using Ctrl+Shift+V ect. Now I run into the issue of pasting in the terminal with clipped since it uses the normal pasting command. Maybe have an options menu where you have an option when you select the history of pastes, it doesn't paste but saves it.

Maybe just show the apps icon alongside the content.

When I press Ctrl + Super + V and select one entry in clipped I would expect to get that value pasted into the focused input field.
Instead I have to press Ctrl + V afterwards.

I do not set Clipped to start automatically or sometimes I can kill it for many reasons.
Then I try to use it and realize it was not open and not saving the content of my clipboard.

Would be very useful to have a notification when data is copied to the clipboard. The user can always mute them, or disable this feature.
I made the code and submitted a PR in case you think its a nice feature

People will want to blacklist password managers etc... so their clipboard data is not stored.

I love your app, it's the first app on elementary's AppCenter that I paid for!

But I would want to use the app on Ubuntu and Fedora as well (in GNOME), not just elementary OS. Because of the lack of efficient and fast clipboard managers on other Linux platforms, I think those users will benefit from your app too.
Making Clipped available on Flathub will allow many more users across multiple distributions to use it.

The first try works good but the next time the shortcut doesn't work.
So I always had to press the shortcut twice after the first use.

i selected CTRL+V for shortcut, now, my CTRL+V not work after uninstall

I tried pasting with this into kitty and it didn't work. It was because Kitty's paste shortcut is ctrl+shift+v by default, instead of ctrl+v.

Once I changed it to ctrl+v, Clipped managed to paste into my terminal correctly:

map ctrl+v paste_from_clipboard

When selecting some text (higlight), it gets coppied to a different clipboard than when using Ctrl+C. And at the moment it is not coppied into Clipped. Would be nice if that text also becomes available in the Clipped paste dialog.

Is should be "Clipboard Manager for elementary OS" not "Clipboard Manger for elementary OS "

The numbers of clips is limited to 10.
Need to have a setting to customize that.

Is it possible to not show password from Lastpass?

Looking at the commit history it looks like there hasn't been any developments lately.
Did the author stop supporting it entirely? If so, maybe it'd be a good idea to pass this project to someone else?

On following the build instructions, I get no information whether clipped is installed successfully.

Moreover, upon going to /usr/bin and trying to run ./com.github.davidmhewitt.clipped gives a segmentation fault.

I am using elementary OS 6.0. I am not sure if it is an issue or not.

Thank you,

Nice work! but the darkmode doesent really work right now

How can i search clipboard history that are numeric when num keys [0-9] is bound to shortcut keys by default?

As the title says

super v is the shortcut key and once i use it to open clipped i cant type letter v again anywhere until a reboot is made, but the shortcut key stays working

I think frequently pasted items should not be removed from history.

Maybe something like banana cake recipe app:firefox

Maybe think of some clever way of doing date filtering too.

Just bought it using the App Center. :-)

What I am missing is support for images.

Do you plan to add this?

As shown in the screenshot below, the clipped UI becomes weird upon using the arc-gtk theme.

Its possible that the issue lies not with your implementation of the app, but rather with what the theme does to the UI, and if this is the case, I apologize. I intended to bring to light, if any, a bug that might have been caused due to your implementation.

I'm using the arc theme current available via apt install arc-theme (as of 7th December, 2018).

Best,

In the new version of AppCenter Dashboard, we're no longer modifying your appdata before publishing, so you'll need to add your stripe key to appdata.xml to continue to monetize your app in elementary OS 6

For your convenience, your public stripe key is:
<value key="x-appcenter-stripe">pk_live_udV1gtwCOlzKm5Wvk1q9ke72</value>

I can't download the app even after paying for it in the elementary os store

I may be the dumbest person in the world right now, but I don't manage to get Clipped to work in almost any situation.

I open the application while focusing some input (e.g. this very textarea, the address bar in Firefox, or a text editor), and I select an item on the list, either by clicking on it or through the keyboard (using the arrows and Enter or Ctrl and a number). I expect the text to be pasted in the position of the cursor. However, absolutely nothing happens when performing this actions (including the selected item is not moved to the clipboard, which might be, perhaps, an alternative intended workflow).

The behaviour above happens with whatever shortcut I tried, except with Ctrl + V... In this case, the application opens, I press Enter, the application closes, and immediately after it opens again. Without having done anything, of course.

Edit And by the way... After having used Clipped, the regular Ctrl + V doesn't work anymore, despite having change Clipped's shortcut to something else.

Good morning! This app is not available in the ElementaryOS App Store... Please bring it to ElementaryOS. Why do we miss it!
