Does Garuda has got a clipboard manager?

Garuda Community
1

I’m playing with X11 programming and I discovered one thing: when I close an application, then everything in “clipboard” goes out with the app. After a bit of reading here and there I found out there is no clipboard in X per se, but the functionality can be emulated when there is a special app running in the background that collects content from other applications.

I’m writing it because I can’t remember I had any problem on other Linuxies with loosing clipboard contents with a source app closing. So, I’m asking the topic’s question: Is there such a manager in Garuda?

I’m using the Cinnamon version of Garuda.

I don’t know if this works on Cinnamon but I use CopyQ.

Please, just follow the template. :slight_smile:

:warning: Missing information requested in the template may result in not receiving assistance

Make sure you have done the following before you post:

Issue still unresolved? Then:

  • ONE issue per topic.

  • Describe your issue in detail. The more we know, the better we can help

  • Show us the results of your searches, and what you’ve tried

  • After rebooting, post the FULL output of garuda-inxi in the body of the post (not linked externally, or collapsed with the “hide details” feature)

  • Format terminal output (including your garuda-inxi) as a code block by clicking the preformatted text button (</>) , or put three tildes (~) above and below the text

Without garuda-inxi this request will be moved to 412 Precondition Failed

Got it! :slight_smile:
I didn’t know I have to do this on this subforum as well :blush:

LOL, you delete the template, and now you don’t know if it’s required. :slight_smile:

But the fundamental problem is with forum posts like this, you didn’t look for a solution yourself first.
We cannot create an all-encompassing DE that meets all requirements. That’s why you need to be proactive.

No, Garuda Linux does not have a clipboard manager.

Some desktop environments provide one, like KDE for example, but Cinnamon does not.

The ArchWiki has compiled a list of many that you can browse. Install a few, try them out, and tell us which one you like the best.
