Where is Klipper clipboard manager?

Open the clipboard manager - no i.d. name to be found.

DDG search says Klipper is KDE Neon clipboard manager.

Discover (nor Synaptic) doesn’t have Klipper listed.

sudo apt install klipper doesn’t do anything…


On a related note… is it possible to install CopyQ and run it along with present “anonymous” clipboard manager?

Klipper is contained in the package plasma-workspace.

You can see what’s installed using dpkg-query -L plasma-workspace |grep klipper

The config files are kept in .local/share/klipper

I’m not sure about using it with other clipboards..

How do you remember all those codes?!

Why isn’t Klipper mentioned in the apps “about”?

In my case I write down short tutorials for everything I used, and keep it as private repo on Github.
There are thousands of lines, when I need something I consult my repo for instructions.
There are 1600 terminal commands in my arsenal for use.

I suggest you do the same to become Bruce Lee of the terminal.
Trying to remember everything is hard and takes years of practice.

They aren’t codes.. but commands. As for recalling them, the letters generally give you a hint as to what a command does. in the case of dpkg and dpkg-query the pkg refers to ‘package’. That’s the hint. If you use these command for a while it becomes second nature.

Grep is another command (global regular expression print) It filters text and only returns the strings you are looking for. If you try the command I suggested- dpkg-query -L plasma-workspace |grep klipper but remove the “|grep klipper” you’ll see every file contained in plasma-workspace rather than those dealing with klipper.

And I forgot to mention, you can configure klipper by right clicking on the icon and choosing configure clipboard.. That will bring up the configuration menu.

Like doing crosswords?
Helps maybe to keep memory sharp.

Still… would be nice to have a mention of Klipper in the “about”.
