A clipboard manager

Introducing Glipper, a clipboard management tool available in Ubuntu.  This little tool maintains a history of text copied to the clipboard.  So instead of replacing the previous data, it maintains a list of all the text copied to the clipboard so you can choose which one to paste.  Let me show you an example:

Without Glipper:

When you copy the text “SAM” to clipboard and then copy the text “Ubuntu” to clipboard, “SAM” will be replaced by “Ubuntu”.

With Glipper:

When you copy the text “SAM” to clipboard and then copy the text “Ubuntu” to clipboard, Glipper will create a list of these two items.  When you press Ctrl + V, “Ubuntu” will be pasted, when you press Ctrl + ALT + C, a list will be shown.  So you can select either “SAM” or “Ubuntu” to paste.

I hope that makes sense. This is a screenshot of Glipper’s preferences window.
