Parcellite: A GNOME Clipboard Manager

So Ubuntu/GNOME still has a pretty annoying bug where if you copy something to the clipboard, and then exit the program it was copied from, you lose your copy. This may seem petty but, fair readers, think again! I can’t tell you how many times I have copied some important code out of an unsaved file, exited the unsaved file, and then was unable to paste it into the new file, losing the code FOREVER!

Enter Parcellite, a clipboard manager which fixes that and also adds a history of copied things. So not only will you not lose what you just copied, but you can also look at the last 25 or so things you copied and grab one of them again.

For those of you in the know, it basically does the same thing as Glipper, but it’s much more lightweight and seems a little more reliable/stable on my box.

Anyways, check ‘er out.
