Clipboard History Vault

Clipboard History Vault records everything you copy on your Linux desktop and lets
you find and paste it again. A Linux alternative to Ditto.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Ditto project or its authors.

WHAT IT DOES
• Monitors the CLIPBOARD (Ctrl+C) and, optionally, the PRIMARY selection (mouse highlight).
• Stores text, HTML (with its plain text), images (as PNG) and file/URI lists in a local
SQLite database with FTS5 full-text search and prefix matching.
• Duplicates are detected by content hash and moved to the top instead of stored twice.
• Pin favourites, give entries titles, organise them into groups.
• Paste-back: choose an entry and it is put back on the clipboard with all its formats.
In the popup it can also auto-paste into the previously focused window by sending
Ctrl+V (or Ctrl+Shift+V / Shift+Insert) through the X11 XTEST extension; if XTEST is
not available the entry is copied and you press Ctrl+V yourself.
• Global hotkey (default Ctrl+Shift+V) opens a search popup, using XGrabKey on X11.
Fallback: bind a desktop shortcut to clipboard-history-vault --popup.
• Size and count limits, incognito pause, "restore last entry when the source app quits",
JSON export/import (images included).

LIMITATIONS (honest)
• Built for X11 sessions. On Wayland it works through XWayland only while an X11 window is
focused; global hotkey and auto-paste depend on the compositor and may not work.
• The app must be running to record. History is stored in ~/snap/clipboard-history-vault/common.
