Linux clipboard app which has functionality to paste multiple things after copying them in one go. - eviltoast

Edit: Everything seems too complicated, so I just went with this https://odysee.com/simplescreenrecorder-2023-09-03_11.02.17:a When you try to copy something, you copy something and then you paste it. This is fine, but I wish there was an app which would help me copy multiple items at different times and seamlessly help me paste it.

i.e., copy two things, press ctrl + v to paste the last thing you copied and press ctrl + shift + v to paste the last second thing you copied and so on.

I am pretty sure there are better ways to do this than what I am asking. So, I would be interested in those ways too.

you can’t only install kclipper that’s the app?

    Emacs handles this with a “kill ring”. The first time you paste (yank) with C-y, it’ll paste the last thing you cut/copied. Then you can repeatedly press M-y (M == meta == alt key) to cycle through previous items in that were cut/copied.
