Clipboard

Clipboard is a Linux-based utility that extends the standard cut, copy, and paste functionality found in desktop environments. It captures text and data segments as they are processed by the system, allowing users to retrieve previously copied items from a history buffer. The application runs in the background to monitor clipboard events, providing a mechanism to manage multiple entries that would otherwise be overwritten by a single copy operation. It is designed to integrate with the existing windowing system to intercept and store data streams.

The software is licensed under the GPL-3.0-or-later and is intended for users who require access to a history of copied content across different applications. It does not impose specific formatting requirements on the data it captures, handling plain text and other standard clipboard formats. Users can interact with the stored history to re-copy or manage items as needed, though the application's functionality is limited to the Linux platform and relies on the underlying desktop environment's support for clipboard protocols.
