Title: Best clipboard tool that isn't diodon?
Post by: just_jed on 26 January 2025, 03:45:15
Over the years, I've tried several clipboard tools, and I don't remember specifics as to why I stopped using most of them. parcellite, clipit, qlipper... maybe another. They were either buggy or clunky or didn't quite do the right thing.

Then, I tried diodon, and it was great. Until I discovered zeitgeist. That's gnome's activity tracker, and I don't even want it on my system.

If there were a fork of diodon without zeitgeist, I'd use it.

Maybe some of the other ones have improved. Well, before I start trying them all out, I figured it'd be worth asking for comments here, regarding any particular one. I should stay away from qlipper, simply because I'm running the MATE desktop.

I am using parcellite for years. It has all that I need. Almost :-)

Heh.

... only one worked (Clipman), albeit with duplicate icons in the panel.

Possibly, that's been fixed in the last 3 years?

(from my own testing most of them didn't work at all).

Sounds like my experience. :o

I think that's the first one I tried, many years ago, but:

However, the user interface of parcellite isn’t very convenient to use.

That might be what I didn't like.  clipit is a fork of parcellite, done to add an indicator.

I use copyq.
Sometimes after copying something it is removed from the clipboard and I have to copy it from copyq.
Besides that I find pretty good.

That's the one that has tabs. Might be too heavyweight for me.

But you raise an interesting question: keepassxc erases copied passwords from the clipboard after 10 seconds. I wonder how any of these programs handle that.

Parcellite saves passwords from keepassxc so in terms of security one has to clear parcellite history manually.

There's an tab in clipit's preferences, where you can exclude applications from having things captured. So, I addedd keepass (it's a regex). Will see how that works here one of these days.

When I copy from keepass it states that the clipboard will be emptied and it seems so.
