You can also pin some entries so that they are permanently available, but that's a bonus.
I haven't seen a clipboard manager behave like that in Linux - can this one be used in a similar way?
Edit: Supports pinning and binding it to Super+V as well!

How does it deal with usernames/passwords/secrets in the clipboard? Do you clean it up periodically?
In addition to what is shown here, I added a job that runs every 5 minutes which prunes the history so that I can comfortably copy sensitive information as well.
Can show last N entries and has a search bar as well, so you can click type away and cycle through results with TAB. Supports pinning as well.
Selection bias aside, Linux clipboards with history have existed for close to two decades, possibly more.
This has been one of my pain points switching from macOS to linux or windows. Great job.

Edit: Yes, tested it now and it doesn't detect clipboard events from Wayland windows when it doesn't have focus. It only detects events from Xwayland windows when unfocused, or if I copy something from a Wayland window and then focus the clyp window then it detects the thing I copied.
alias pbcopy='xsel --clipboard --input'
alias pbpaste='xsel --clipboard --output'
Switching between macOS for job and linux for everything else, I’ve honestly never realized any difference.
This wouldn't prevent the malware that's constantly scanning the clipboard from stealing your password; it would only prevent you from using it after it's been stolen.
I'm not sure how a clipboard manager would know the text copied in was a password (or 2fa).
