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

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?

It would be a hell of a reason to switch DE, but KDE has a clipboard taskbar item. It remembers all your copies (until you clear the list), and you can click on an item to bring it back.

Perhaps you can, that makes sense

I guess I forgot how Linux worked, I was thinking it was just part of the system and not an "app", but there isn't really that distinction is there?

And you can set a keybind to switch to previous/next item so you could do something like ctrl+, ctrl+v

unfortunately, I wasn't able to get through to most people. Probably because of my bad English. I have a clipboard manager and I like it. But, i wanted something, which would paste the item copied before the last item when I press Ctrl + Shift + V just as it would post the last item copied when I press Ctrl + V

CopyQ works for me now, although I have to press Ctrl + Shift + C to copy the next item. It works. https://odysee.com/simplescreenrecorder-2023-09-03_11.02.17:a
