I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04. I have tried two clipboard managers -- Diodon and an extension from Gnome.
They both copy as they should but I can't get them to paste. When I used Diodon in 12.04, I only needed to press Ctrl + Shift + V and click on the text to be copied. It don't work here.
Any idea why not?

  • Sounds to me like you're describing the diodon pop-up dialog, not the "paste". Is that right?

  • No, the pop-up works. It has all the copied text in it. It's just when I click on a line of text nothing happens.

  • The keyboard shortcut works just fine. Everything works fine until I go to paste. The it doesn't paste when I click on the line of text.

  • Select the text, then Ctrl + C for copy, and Ctrl + V for paste works for me in Xubuntu 16.04. You need to use Ctrl + Shift + V ONLY in Terminal apps. Because Ctrl + V is assigned to another command in Terminal.

I figured it out. Just for the record, in case anyone else has the same problem (using Diodon):

Open the dconf Editor

net
 |-- launchpad
        |-- diodon
               |-- clipboard
  • makes sure "instant paste" is checked.

It works fine now. Thanks for the help.
