# Gnome Clipboard History

[Gnome Clipboard History](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-history/) is a

clipboard manager GNOME extension that saves what you've copied into an easily accessible,

searchable history panel.

The extension is a rewrite of

[Clipboard Indicator](https://github.com/Tudmotu/gnome-shell-extension-clipboard-indicator) with

vastly improved performance, new features, and

[bug fixes](https://github.com/Tudmotu/gnome-shell-extension-clipboard-indicator/pull/338).

A technical overview is available at https://alexsaveau.dev/blog/gch.

## Project status: replaced by Ringboard

Gnome Clipboard History is now in maintenance mode as it is being replaced by

[Ringboard](https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/clipboard-history). I'm still accepting PRs for small

improvements and bug fixes (such as supporting the latest Gnome version), but no new development

will take place.

## Download

## Tips

![Tutorial screenshot](tutorial-screenshot.png)

- Open the panel from anywhere with Super + Shift + V.

- Modify shortcuts in settings or delete them by hitting backspace while editing a shortcut.

- Use the `Only save favorites to disk` feature to wipe your non-favorited items on shutdown.

- Use `Private mode` to temporarily stop processing copied items.

- Use keyboard shortcuts while the panel is open:

  - Ctrl + N where `N` is a number from 1 to 9 to select the Nth

    non-favorited entry.

  - Super + Ctrl + N where `N` is a number from 1 to 9 to select

    the Nth favorited entry.

  - Ctrl + p/n to navigate to the previous/next page.

  - Ctrl + Alt + S to open settings.

  - / to search.

  - F to (un)favorite a highlighted item.

- Search uses case-insensitive [regex](https://regex101.com/?flavor=javascript).

## Install from source

- The `master` branch and `1.4.x` tags support GNOME 45.

- The `pre-45` branch and `1.3.x` (or earlier) tags support GNOME 40-44.
