Whoa, you can now search clipboard history. Go to Spotlight Search, Command+4. You'll get a list of entries, each with a copy button, and is searchable. Even shows the app it was copied in.
- merrvk 1y agoWow, didn't realise there was more than one tab
- al_borland 1y agoWhen you open it for the first time there is a display that tells you all the shortcuts. Beyond that, if you move your mouse while Spotlight is on-screen, it shows the tabs and tells you the shortcuts as you hover over them.
- bayindirh 1y agoAt last Apple implemented a decent clipboard history. KDE has this thing for a decade now, I guess... KDE also can encode entries as QR codes, so you can make URLs transferable to your phone or whatnot. -- Sent from my MacBook Air.
- heavyset_go 1y agoIf you use KDE Connect, your clipboard history immediately goes to your phone's clipboard :)
- gazook89 1y agomacOS/ios can also share clipboards for awhile now. For KDE Connect, does the phone have to be an Android or ?
- jcotton42 1y agoKDE Connect exists on both iOS and Android, though some functions like text messages aren't available on iOS.
- heavyset_go 1y agoKDE Connect works on macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS

- ubercow13 1y agoMore like, almost 3 decades.
- pabs3 1y agoKDE doesn't have infinite clipboard history yet, like the GPaste extension for GNOME Shell has.
- heavyset_go 1y agoCopyQ works for forever history for me, it also doesn't save copied passwords, which is nice.
- pabs3 1y agoHow does it detect passwords? Usually those are just plain-text when copied. https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/ https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/ Either way, I think it is better to not copy passwords to the clipboard or the selection, but store and transfer them via password-manager/browser/etc APIs.
- heavyset_go 1y agoWith KDE on Wayland, there is a clipboard hint MIME type `x-kde-passwordManagerHint` for passwords that clipboard managers can choose to drop.
- pabs3 1y agoNot too much support out there, but at least some important things do: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=x-kde-passwordManagerHint&literal=1 https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=x-kde-passwordManager...
- heavyset_go 1y agoAt least in my experience, it works with the password and clipboard managers I use, and even some command-line utilities like wl-clipboard. Wish it was a protocol-level setting, though, instead of something KDE specific and honored at the application level.

- dsego 1y agoDoes that mean that add-on clipboard managers like Maccy are obsolete now?
- latexr 1y agoNo. Spotlight’s clipboard history doesn’t even keep items for longer than eight hours.
- al_borland 1y agoIn most cases Apple’s integrations do the 20% that 80% of users want. Third party apps give the additional 80% of features that the 20% may want. How obsolete those apps are depends on you as a user.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoThere were already a zillion and one apps (Maccy, ClipMenu, Jumpcut, Flycut, Alfred, ...) that provided this. It'll be one of the first things I turn off whenever I get around to installing it ~6+ months from now.
- afandian 1y agoIncluding passwords from password managers?
- TomaszZielinski 1y agoPretty handy, right :)? And seriously, managers like 1Password clear the clipboard after some time. I would guess that there’s some clipboard API that allows managers to exclude copied passwords from being permanently added to the history. Still, there are pieces of data that one might not want to store in such unobvious place as clipboard history so it’s good to know about it.
- afandian 1y agoI use KeePassXC which does empty the keyboard after a few seconds. But keeping history seems like a breaking change to the social (if not technical) contract of the OS' clipboard API.
- hu3 1y agoWindows has this with Win+V for those wondering.
