Solved Which clipboard manager do you recommend for GNOME?

[CaffeineAddict]

It's really unholy that GNOME doesn't have clipboard manager to remember history of copying.
If you're GNOME user you've surely explored one that is known to be maintained and not break DE?

Btw. how do you clear clipboard if not using clipboard manager?

I don't use a clipboard manager. I use Bitwarden for my password manager which allows to automatically enter the credentials for all accounts that I have the website entered. When that's not the case I have my Bitwarden configured to automatically clear the clipboard after 30 seconds.

If you want to use one I would just use the most popular one which is the one with the most downloads.

I need clipboard history for regular tasks, I'm used to it since Win10, Clipboard Indicator looks and feels great! will install.

Unfortunately dumping passwordsafe is next step too, it doesn't support autotype on wayland.
Been already looking at:

PasswordManagement - Debian Wiki

gnome-keyring is most popular, probably because default installed, however its GUI frontend seahorse lacks autotype and specifying username, totally useless other than for SSH and GPG keys.

gnome-keyring is automatically used since it's how my account details for Evolution and stuff like that is saved. I've never bothered installing the Seahorse. I don't know how use autotype but I think it's probably similar to the autofill feature of Bitwarden that autoatmatically fills out your credentials for a website if it knows for what website the account is for. But I'm assuming you want to stick to whatever you are using now which I think is Keepass or KeepassXC if I remember correctly?

I think this has to also do with autotype?

I'm using PasswordSafe for almost since its existence, it's very good manager except for autotype on wayland dragging passwords and usernames is still possible to avoid clipboard.
Really don't want to get rid of it for now, unless I find some alternative, there's 225 passwords in it.

This looks related to virtual keyboard, not autotype, pwsafe development is too slow, that's the problem, their windows version is way ahead of linux version.

I came across it when looking for something about autotype, that's why I shared it.

Maybe KeepassXC is an option for you?

Will consider which manager to choose if any at all, I'm thinking about waiting until devs make it in pwsafe.
Software must really upset me to dump it, such as Windows and KDE so far heh.

It's a miracle I'm using gnome, but it feels really polished and elegant, and what's the best about it is it's stable, fast and working without any bugs so far.
