Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a “multi-paste” feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I’m having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months. Edit: I found the post!
Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn’t exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I’d publicize it here.
If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it’s activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.
Found the post, for some reason I had a lot of trouble finding it when I was looking around before posting.
@[email protected] maybe this will help you as it is Linux distro-agnostic. I have not tested on Wayland, though. For good measure I’ll add a comment on the original post.
I hope this could help anyone else out who can take advantage of this feature, or turn it off if they are worried about the feds after them.
Ditto Clipboard
On Linux? Copyq?
Clearly a government conspiracy because they want to know what porn “Dan” watches.
These sneaky motherfuckers. Totally out to take Dan down.
