I have set Klipper to save 500 entries. It is triggered with a Ctrl+` on my
system. And you could search through the Klipper history just by typing. If
you enable "synchronize primary selection with clipboard" you will never have
to do Ctrl-C to copy just select and it will be copied. And then you can
trigger Klipper anywhere your mouse is by using shortcut Ctrl+`, search and
paste.
Thanks, guys. This is exactly what I was looking for.
