Reliable clipboard manager

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 891 / 3 Years ago, sat, july 3, 2021, 1:34:41

There are many clipboard managers available.

The first one I used, I found out if messes clipboard history if clipboard contents was multiline - which I found to be very lame and naive

Second one which I use now is also faulty - I wanted recent clipboard content and I found it's not present in history. I deliberately copied piece of text and text is not copied in history so I can't reuse it, although if I select edit clipboard I find the contents that I just copied

Can someone with more experience suggest reliable clipboard manager, with panel icon or indicator icon feature?

I tried Glipper and Parcellite, because they were on the repos. I ended using Diodon because neither of them worked well for me. One of them (I don't remember know which) had a bug that made it copy every single letter from a selection to the clipboard:

If I selected "foo bar" from left to right, I would get
"f"
"fo"
"foo"
"foo "
"foo b"
etc

in the clipboard.

I was using Diodon in 11.04 and I got back to it, even via a third PPA, in 11.10. It works great.
