#### Clipboard history, pinning, images, and a Windows-style emoji & symbol picker.

inux Clipboard is a powerful productivity tool designed to enhance your copy-paste workflow on Linux. Unlike standard clipboard managers, this application provides a rich visual history for both text and images, plus a dedicated picker for special characters.

It operates as a non-intrusive floating window that appears instantly near your cursor or at a fixed position, allowing you to paste items without losing focus on your current task.

Key Features:

* Visual History: View previews of copied images and text snippets instantly.
* Emoji & Symbol Picker: Built-in tool to easily insert emojis and symbols, similar to the Windows feature (Win + .).
* Pin Favorites: Keep frequently used items permanently at the top of your list.
* Smart Window: Opens as a floating dialog that doesn't clutter your taskbar.
* Drag & Drop: Easily reorder your clipboard history.
* Search: Quickly find specific text clips within your history.
* Customizable: Includes both Dark and Light themes to match your desktop environment.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Linux Clipboard

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
