Are there any "advanced clipboard" managers for Linux that can store several things at one time?
For example I might wnat to collect several things in the clipboard:
Then when I press (for example) Ctrl+V+1 just the first "thing" would be pasted. (In this example the .jpg file) If I press Ctrl+V+2, then it pastes the text, etc.
Are there any clipboard manager that support such "layers"?
Yes, basically, you'd need to offer the CLIPBOARD selection either as
text/uri-list with the content being
/path/to/file1
/path/to/file2
application/x-kde-cutselection or x-special/gnome-copied-files with content copy\nfile://$path1\nfile://$path2\0 or cut\nfile://$path1\nfile://$path2...\0
With xclip you can achieve this with something like
find "$PWD" -name "*.pdf"| xclip -i -selection clipboard -t text/uri-list
I've also found this loliclip command that looked promising, but though I could retrieve the values, I wasn't able to store them and have them retrieved from loliclip by pcmanfm successfully.
You also should be able to implement it in a few lines of perl-tk.
I can only reproduce this if I enable "Sync Selections" in Clipman.
Make sure "Sync selections" is unchecked and you should be fine.
