GPaste (native GNOME Shell clipboard manager) 2.1 has been released recently and is now available in the WebUpd8 GNOME 3 PPA.
Changes in GPaste since the previous version available in our PPA:
- image support
- uris support (files copying)
- new gpaste subcommand: raw-history to display history without numbers
- fix for the keyboard shortcut bug
- many under the hood changes and bug fixes
In my test, the new files support only worked with Nautilus (it didn't work with Marlin for instance).
To install GPaste 2.1 in Ubuntu, use the commands below:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-gpaste
Once installed, reload GNOME Shell and activate GPaste using GNOME Tweak Tool (you also need to restart GNOME Shell if you're upgrading GPaste).
Important: If you're upgrading GPaste, you'll also need to run the following command to enable the new features:
gpaste dr
Other Linux distributions:
- For Fedora, see: THIS post (but I didn't test it with the latest GPaste 2.1).
- Arch Linux: GPaste is available in AUR.
- Other Linux distributions: get the source via GitHub.

Glippy is a clipboard manager for GNOME that comes with some cool features: it can upload text to pastebin.com or images to imgur.com, execute actions on the current clipboard content and more. You can even quickly access the clipboard history without using the indicator / tray icon by using CTRL + ALT + Shift + C (this keyboard shortcut is configurable).
The latest Glippy 0.5 has been released a few days ago and comes with:
- support for rich, formatted text
- file support (so you can copy a file in Nautilus, then copy something else and restore the file copy later on)
- redesigned preferences
- experimental screenshots support: you can take a screenshot and store it in the clipboard so you can paste it in some image editor or directly upload it to imgur
- more
Glippy works with both Unity (comes with Ubuntu Indicator) and GNOME Shell. Tip: move it to the top GNOME Shell bar using
Iconmanager extension.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bikooo/glippy
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove glippy-indicator
sudo apt-get install glippy glippy-ubuntu-mono

GPaste is a clipboard management tool which comes with a tray applet as well as a GNOME Shell extension. Using the GPaste config tool, you can set the maximum history size, the maximum element size and synchronize the clipboard with primary selection.
To install GPaste, firstly install "
git-core" and get the code using the command below:
cd
git clone https://github.com/Keruspe/GPaste.git
There's no readme with the required dependencies but most probably you'll need to install the following packages to be able to compile GPaste:
- Fedora: autoconf automake vala intltool gtk3-devel libtool glib2-devel libxml-devel libgee-devel dbus-devel
- Ubuntu (tested on 11.10): autoconf automake libvala-0.14-dev valac-0.14 intltool libgtk-3-dev libtool libglib2.0-dev libxml++2.6-dev libgee-dev libdbus-1-dev
Update: the package now requires Vala >= 0.13.4, but you can change that if you use Fedora 15 (Vala is still at version 0.12 in Fedora 15): open the "configure.ac" file from the GPaste directory and where it says "AM_PROG_VALAC([0.13.4])", replace the Vala version with "0.12.0".
Once you install the packages above, compile GPaste, enabling the GNOME Shell extension using the commands below:
cd GPaste
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
sudo make install
Now restart GNOME Shell and you should see the GPaste icon on the GNOME Shell top panel.
