One thing that I love about Windows (and there aren't many others) is that pressing Super+V (instead of Ctrl+V) shows a list of last N clipboard entries and you can select which one you wish to paste. Simple and very effective.

You can also pin some entries so that they are permanently available, but that's a bonus.

I haven't seen a clipboard manager behave like that in Linux - can this one be used in a similar way?

I love that feature too. I replicated it with this. https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist

In addition to what is shown here, I added a job that runs every 5 minutes which prunes the history so that I can comfortably copy sensitive information as well.
