• Unified "Recents" Tab:
  • See all your most recently used items from every category in one convenient place.
• Auto-Paste:
  • Optionally paste content directly into the active application instead of just copying it.

  • Hide the panel icon and open the menu at your cursor, the center of the screen, or over the active window.
  • Fine-tune history limits, auto-paste behavior, and more.

Compatibility

Requires GNOME Shell version 46 and up.

Installation

From extensions.gnome.org (Recommended)

The easiest way to install is from the official GNOME Extensions website.

Installing from a ZIP File

1. Download the ZIP: Go to the Releases page and download the latest all-in-one-clipboard@NiffirgkcaJ.github.com.zip file.

2. Unzip the File: Extract the contents of the zip file. This will create a folder with the extension's files inside (like extension.js, metadata.json, etc.).

3. Find the Destination Folder: The extension needs to be placed in your local extensions directory. You can open it in your file manager or create it if it doesn't exist with this command:

   mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

4. Move and Rename: Move the unzipped folder into the extensions directory and rename the folder to match the extension's UUID. This step is crucial. The UUID is: all-in-one-clipboard@NiffirgkcaJ.github.com.

   For example, if you unzipped the files into a folder named all-in-one-clipboard, you would run:

   mv all-in-one-clipboard ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/all-in-one-clipboard@NiffirgkcaJ.github.com

5. Restart GNOME Shell:

   • On X11, press Alt + F2, type r into the dialog, and press Enter.
   • On Wayland, you must log out and log back in.

6. Enable the Extension: Open the Extensions app (or GNOME Tweaks) and enable "All-in-One Clipboard". You can also do this from the command line:

   gnome-extensions enable all-in-one-clipboard@NiffirgkcaJ.github.com

Install from Source (for Developers)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/NiffirgkcaJ/all-in-one-clipboard.git
   cd all-in-one-clipboard

2. Run the installation script:

   ./install.sh

3. Restart GNOME Shell (press Alt + F2, type r, and press Enter) or log out and back in.
4. Enable the extension using the Extensions app or the command line:

   gnome-extensions enable all-in-one-clipboard@NiffirgkcaJ.github.com

Usage

• Open the Menu: Click the clipboard icon in the top panel or use the keyboard shortcut you configured (default is <Super>v for the clipboard tab).

• Search: Use the search bar within each tab to filter results.
• Select: Click on any item to copy it to your clipboard. If auto-paste is enabled, it will also be pasted into your active window.
