 Hi, and welcome to this video where I'm going to talk about something that, yeah, I thought was completely useless, but I totally had a change of mind, clipboard managers. So I'm going to talk about what those are, what they're like in KD Plasma, what are like in GNOME, and I'm going to talk about an extension called the Pano in GNOME that implements them. And I think it does them in a really, really nice way. As a quick warning, if my video is a bit laggy, that's because my laptop cannot quite handle OBS recording and boxes with operating system inside of it at the same time, so I'm just trying my best. So let's start talking. This is KD Plasma, you might recognize it. And the clipboard manager you probably know lives here. This is KD's clipboard manager. At the beginning, I thought it was completely useless to be honest, to be fully honest. It actually has a couple of nice features which I'm going to go through, and it's mostly this one, which allows you to immediately get a QR code of any string of text that you have copy pasted recently, just like this. And you also have the ability to invoke action, which I guess if you have, as an example, a bash command in the clipboard, you can just run that. You can also edit those, just like that, after copy pasting. And if you click on them, it will be copy pasted again. So it makes sense. This is a rather simple clipboard manager, but it does its job. And one feature that I would like to see, and I actually saw it, some merge request in development. I don't know if they will be able to reach the next version, or maybe they're already landed. I don't know. The ability to make some clipboard elements marked as important, so you can easily find them. And when I actually started using the clipboard manager, it was not in KD Plasma, but it was on Android, because I used the Gboard, which is the keyboard from Google. And it actually has a keyboard, sorry, a clipboard manager inside of it. If you copy paste something, you can always go into the list of things you've recently copy pasted, and you can also pin some elements. As an example, I pin my personal information that is often relevant, like my address, which I instead of copy pasting it every time, it's just at the top of my clipboard on Android. Then I saw this. This, well, we just switched to something else entirely. This is Ubuntu with O. And this is Pano, the clipboard manager extension to GNOME. Now how do you get this? In general, I suggest you to get the extension app from Flatpak, and then you just search for Pano. You have to install a couple of packages, not particularly different. However, we do see a lot of... We don't have the QR support, which was nice in KD Plasma, but this one has different features which are really interesting. We do get a type to search thingy, which is really nice for this reason. This is the article that actually made me discover about this whole thing in the first place from OMG Ubuntu. And the interesting part is that it is a link, and it is actually marked as a link. And I also have the time when I copy pasted this, sorry, which is 28 minutes ago. So this actually gives me more information about this compared to the Plasma one. I do get text, and if I click on it, it is copy pasted as usual. Can I... come on. It's really hard to do two hand shortcuts with one hand. Okay, so you also have images, which is really nice. It is something that I've seen kind of working in the KD Clipboard Manager too, but I never actually was able to make an image appear there just by copying it. So some magic has to happen in here. You can go to any website such as this one, and let's actually open this. Smartly enough, not here, sorry. As an example, this is a nice chessboard. I can just go here, here, and then copy it, copy the image, and then I have the actual image, the resolution of the image, the size of it, and I can very quickly take it off it if I don't want it in my clipboard high story. Finally, you also get colors. If you copy a color, basically, you also get this as the color, as the background, which is really useful for quickly, visually parsing what colors have you copy pasted. If you compare it to the Plasma Clipboard Manager here, I have a bunch of colors or I had before editing this one. I have no way to tell which color this is. Here, it's very clear. So I really like the panel's implementation. And I know that it's just a clipboard. And yet I think that a clipboard is really useful if you have all of the nice features. Here, it's missing something that for me is essential. And that's the ability to pin some elements. As far as I know, there's no way to do that. And for me, that's extremely important. Maybe there's an image that I use really often, like, I don't know, my profile picture as an example. And I always want it to the left. So one suggestion that I could give the panel developers is allow pinning. That's the most important feature in my opinion. Other than that, I think that how they deal with actually presenting you all of the things you've copied is superb. All right, so yes.
