Press Ctrl+Shift+9, find the item and press Enter to copy it again. **Features** * **Source app**: each item shows the app you copied it from, and the time. * **Search**: start to type. The list filters by text and by app name. * **Pin**: pinned items are never trimmed and stay when you clear the history. * **Keyboard first**: arrow keys to select, Enter to copy, Delete to delete, Esc to hide. * **Links**: open a copied link in your browser with one click. * **Light and dark theme**: Clipaste follows your system theme. * **Tray menu**: recent items, Pause Recording, Hide After Copy, Start at Login and History Size. * **Private**: the history stays on your computer. Clipaste does not record secrets that password managers mark as concealed. **Wayland** Wayland does not let apps register global shortcuts. Open Settings > Keyboard > Custom Shortcuts and add a shortcut with the command `clipaste --toggle`. The source app shows for X11 apps. Native Wayland apps do not share this information. **Upgrade from 1.x** Clipaste 2 is a full rewrite. It imports your 1.x history on the first start. Clipaste is free and open source (MIT).
