cliphist

cliphist command [arguments]

cliphist is a clipboard history manager for Wayland compositors. It stores clipboard entries and allows retrieving previous items, supporting both text and image content. It works in conjunction with wl-copy and wl-paste from the wl-clipboard package.
To automatically capture clipboard entries as they are copied, run `wl-paste --watch cliphist store` as a background process, typically in your compositor's startup configuration. Entries can then be browsed and selected using tools like fzf, dmenu, or wofi for quick recall of previously copied content.
