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

Use the flatpak version in the cosmic store.

You will need to enable the data control protocol. It allow any privilegied client to access the clipboard, without any action from the user. It is thus kinda insecure.

The protocol is by default disabled on the COSMIC DE, but can be enabled with this command:

echo 'export COSMIC_DATA_CONTROL_ENABLED=1' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/data_control_cosmic.sh > /dev/null

Restart the session for the COSMIC_DATA_CONTROL_ENABLED environment variable to take effect.

You can disable it with

sudo rm -f /etc/profile.d/data_control_cosmic.sh

Logs
