For years, a staple tool I have relied on is a clipboard manager to keep tabs on reusable text snippets. The Linux desktop has several noteworthy clipboard managers. Some are much handier than others for working with parcels of text that I can easily swap from a clipping queue to a document or Web page form. Anyone who works constantly with bulk text needs a reusable copy-and-paste buffer to store multiple snippets of text. A weakness in the Linux desktop makes a clipboard manager a necessary add-on tool.
Sounds great. Sadly after installing it, I can get it to copy some text- but that is all. Maybe it can do all these wonderful thungs - but hot for me.
Oh for a linux version of Clipmate!
