Clipboard manager for cosmic

The goal is to make a simple yet fast clipboard history, with a focus on UX, rapidity and security.

There is a quick settings popup when you right click the icon.

Install

Fedora

You can use this copr.

dnf copr enable wiiznokes/cosmic-applets-unofficial
dnf install cosmic-clipboard-manager

Other distros

git clone https://github.com/wiiznokes/cosmic-clipboard-manager.git
cd cosmic-clipboard-manager
just build-release
just install

You curently need to activate a setting of the compositor:

sudo nano /etc/cosmic-comp/config.ron

And change data_control_enabled: false to true at the end of the file.

Obiously, a better integration is planned, maybe with a portal that ask the user if they want to activate this protocol (which is insecure since its let an app access the clipboard without receiving an event for it (like ctrl-c) or being focused).

Finally, you will need to set up the applet in cosmic-settings.
