Can I use clipboard manager in qubes? Example clipman.
I try install clipman in dom0, but it work only for dom0. I want use clipboard manager for all of global copy(when I press CTRL + C -> CTRL + SHIFT + C).
Welcome to the community.
One of the main advantages of Qubes is security through isolation. That has some awesome benefits, but also some inconveniences. One of those is clipboard functions.
It’s always highly discouraged to install anything in dom0. This is purely a management area, and should be left as it is (isolated). The clipboard manager you mention will not function outside dom0, like you said, and that’s a good thing.

Hello,
I’m familiarized work with clipboard and I faced the same issue, to solve it I created one script on Dom0 like this
#!/bin/bash
#execute qvm-run in the target qube
qvm-run --pass-io qube_destination ‘xfc4-clipman-history’
after create this you can create a shotcuts in you dom0 using you preference key combination.
Remember this only works on qubes destination. And the clipman service should be running.
This solved my issue, I hope cna help you too.
