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?

Tried it, and found out I had disabled it in the past, and it fortunately has stayed off trhough updates.

How does it deal with usernames/passwords/secrets in the clipboard? Do you clean it up periodically?

I looked at mine, and it only has entries from my current login session.

That, and it only has about 10 of them. But anyway, if someone can access your clipboard manager then that's not very good...

If someone has access to your computer to access your clipboard history, you're already been pwned and the clipboard with random scattered entries is the least of your worries.
