Every time there's a new version of #CopyQ I update it in hopes that it will have started working again now. And the answer is always no. It starts, but does not pick up anything I copy. It's been like this for a long time, across distros. I suspect it's got something to do with #Wayland? But I see Wayland mentioned in the changelog as if it works? Makes me sad, CopyQ is such an incredible tool. Is there anything similarly powerful for #Gnome? #Linux #LinuxApps

Ok, so now that I got CopyQ to work (thanks!), I just need to make it actually useful: The only way it's more useful to me than any generic clipboard manager is if I have a keyboard shortcut that brings up the main window, where I can have different clips in different tabs. Unfortunately setting a shortcut for that in its settings does not work. I have to create a shortcut in Gnome Settings. Which means I need a flatpak command to show the window… Help? 'man com.github.hluk.copyq' don't work…

@forteller I don't know your clipboard management needs, but for GNOME there is GPaste and it comes with a Shell extension.

@forteller@tutoteket.no Fwiw, #CopyQ works fine for me in #ArchLinux #Plasma #Wayland... so it's hard to believe the problem is just it being incompatible with Wayland per se.

@forteller reading their docs... https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/known-issues.html#on-linux-global-shortcuts-pasting-or-clipboard-monitoring-does-not-work

@forteller for GNOME you'll need an extension, but I don't think there's an extension as advanced as CopyQ yet
