I wanted a simple clipboard history on Win+V.
I’ve installed CopyQ - it’s ugly, starts with a lag and doesn’t quite work on Super+V shortcut. I’ve switched to Wayland and it silently stopped working altogether.
Next, I’ve installed Gnome Clipboard History Extension - it looks good, fast, works on Super+V, but for some reason it can’t paste into Kate text editor.
Is it possible to get a reliable clipboard history manager on Gnome+Wayland, or should I stop wasting my time? Maybe someone has a working solution?
I am a little but frustrated by the obstacles I encounter trying to get this simple feature.

I use Clipboard Indicator Gnome Extension - well maintained and works flawlessly for me.
Edit: Also pasting in Kate if that’s of any concern
I was using fork of this extension. Original one you’ve mentioned works in Kate too, thanks! I hope I will not return to this question anymore. I think this one has a bad name, it’s easy to overlook it in search through gnome extensions website.
I use copyq on wayland everyday. But not gnome, on hyprland.
Cliphist sounds like it might work for you. Depending on what’s running under Gnome you might need a few dependencies.
I use wl-clipboard for wayland with another distro.
I use clips on Elementary OS, I don’t know how well it works with other distros.
