# clippy-land
COSMIC panel applet for keeping a history of recently copied text and images.
This applet polls the Wayland clipboard and updates the history when
the contents change.
## Main features
- Keep a history of the latest **30** clipboard entries (text + images)
- Re-copy an entry with a single click
- Remove individual entries from the history
- Clear all entries from history with one click
- Pin important entries to the top of the history (5 pinned entries max)
- Move between entries with arrow keys (up/down or k/j to navigate between entries, left/right or h/l to move to pin or delete buttons. You need to interact with the applet at least once to enable keyboard navigation)

## Install with Flatpak
1. Add the required remotes (if not already added):
```bash
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
```
2. Download the latest `.flatpak` from the [releases page](https://github.com/k33wee/clippy-land/releases/).
3. In a terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the `.flatpak` file and run:
```bash
flatpak install --user ./clippy-land_.flatpak
```
This will install the applet for your user. If you encounter missing runtime errors, ensure the remotes above are added and try again.
