This isn't clipboards in general, but a clipboard manager. This is a program that keeps a history of things in your clipboard so you can go back if you accidentally copied something, or sync things between computers even (it's really nice when it works among VMs, copy on one, paste on the other).
- pizza234 10y agoClipboard managers are needed at least on some desktop environments to make copy/paste functional between applications. On my XFCE 4.12, with clipboard managers, if I copy from, say, Firefox, then close it, the content of the clipboard disappears. If it's the same with Wayland, then having a functional clipboard manager is a big deal (at least, as much as such copy/paste operations are).
