Clipboard Manager for Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04

Clipit is the best among all.

sudo apt-get install clipit

Launch it, one icon will appear on top right where you can choose one of your clipboards.

CopyQ is a cross-platform, well-designed and fully-featured clipboard manager (my favorite). It features among others a (very handy) command line interface.

To install it on Ubuntu 18.04+:

sudo apt install copyq

To install it on Ubuntu 16.04-:
