I've installed CopyQ - it's ugly, starts with a lag and doesn't quite work on Super+V shortcut. I've switched to Wayland and it silently stopped working altogether.
Next, I've installed Gnome Clipboard History Extension - it looks good, fast, works on Super+V, but for some reason it can't paste into Kate text editor.
Is it possible to get a reliable clipboard history manager on Gnome+Wayland, or should I stop wasting my time? Maybe someone has a working solution?
I am a little but frustrated by the obstacles I encounter trying to get this simple feature.
Edit: Also pasting in Kate if that's of any concern

I was using fork of this extension. Original one you've mentioned works in Kate too, thanks! I hope I will not return to this question anymore. I think this one has a bad name, it's easy to overlook it in search through gnome extensions website.

Cliphist sounds like it might work for you. Depending on what's running under Gnome you might need a few dependencies.

Mentioning since you say you don't like ugly, I use Pano (on Gnome 49/Fedora 43) and have no issues with Kate (current version from Flathub) and it looks pretty (imo) as it does little thumbnails for everything. Although I've been meaning to try Copyous as it has that + at pointer paste.

I use clips on Elementary OS, I don't know how well it works with other distros.

I use wl-clipboard for wayland with another distro.

Can you get Clipboard History on Gnome+Wayland?
I wanted a simple clipboard history on Win+V.

I use Clipboard Indicator Gnome Extension - well maintained and works flawlessly for me.

Copyous
I use copyq on wayland everyday. But not gnome, on hyprland.
