I’m currently using Klipper, and it’s fine, I suppose, but I miss the ability to cycle through the previous clips with simple keypresses, like in the emacs killring (the only thing I miss from my very brief experimentation with emacs back in the day).
Which functionality is that? I haven’t found anything that enters the selected item directly, without having to C-v it afterwards. Besides, the mouse is a thing I want to avoid… I played around with some other functions, however, and I found out that cycling through the history items works fairly well for me.
For the list of all clipboard items, ready to be chosen: Klipper tray icon, right-click → Configure clipboard → Shortcuts→ “Open Klipper at Mouse Position”. You can choose from the list either with the up/down keys, or with the mouse.
Klipper’s item-cycling doesn’t require more keystrokes than Emac’s. For example, what I achieve in Emacs with
C-y M-y M-yI achieve with Klipper withS-v S-v C-v(no need to operate with the mouse).
