COSMIC panel applet for keeping a history of recently copied text and images.

This applet polls the Wayland clipboard and updates the history when the contents change.

• Keep a history of the latest 30 clipboard entries (text + images)
• Re-copy an entry with a single click
• Remove individual entries from the history
• Clear all entries from history with one click
• Pin important entries to the top of the history (5 pinned entries max)
• Move between entries with arrow keys (up/down or k/j to navigate between entries, left/right or h/l to move to pin or delete buttons. You need to interact with the applet at least once to enable keyboard navigation)

1. Add the required remotes (if not already added):

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

2. Download the latest .flatpak from the releases page.
3. In a terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the .flatpak file and run:

flatpak install --user ./clippy-land_<version>.flatpak

This will install the applet for your user. If you encounter missing runtime errors, ensure the remotes above are added and try again.

Download the latest .deb from the releases page: In a terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the .deb file and run:

sudo apt install ./cosmic-applet-clippy-land_<version>_amd64.deb
