Every time before I copy or paste I find myself pasting the clipboard to chrome’s URL bar. It would be really useful, if I could see the contents of my clipboard in the panel.

In the meanwhile, if you use plank, you can add the “clippy” docklets to manage your clipboard.
A right click on its icon will show the history of the clipboard.

I use clipit which is available in the repositories. It is an appindicator that appears when you run it.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am now using clippy aswell, but for me it would be better to have it always shown.
In the future I may look in to making it myself.

I had an idea: dump the contents to sysmonitor’s applet.
There isn’t a good way to get contents of the clipboard, but xclip -o dumps the output to terminal.
When adding xclip -o as a sensor to sysmonitor, sysmonitor shows {No output}

RasmusKallas, look at CopyQ features which allows you to have a window of the clipboard history in the foreground, with opacity settings and many others options

CopyQ is really great peace of software, but almost every desktop environment have clipboard manager on their own (GNOME, XFCE, KDE…). I think that budgie has to have good one as well, regardless of other options. By the way many clipboard managers projects are death or not mentained…

Sadly yes. An example of a native budgie clipboard manager is this project.
https://github.com/zhboner/Budgie-clipboard-manager
It was never finished.
If anyone is interested in forking and completing the project I am sure you will make many people very happy!

I’ll take it on. I’ve always had a few issues with different clipboard managers; how could I possibly pass this up?

I tried to make it using vala , It’s not Perfect but will make your Clipboard management easier.
To edit variables value you can use dconf.editor

Thanks to @prateekmedia for working through all the issues.
I have packaged up all of @prateekmedia work into an installable package for both 20.04 and 20.10.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntubudgie/backports
sudo apt install budgie-clipboard-applet
Logout and login and use budgie desktop settings to add the clipboard applet to your panel.
Any suggestions/issues and help to develop then let @prateekmedia via the github repo.
If you want to help to translate the applet into your native language then instructions are on the README on github
