Unified Clipboard & History

Unified Clipboard & History

Usually on Linux, you need Ctrl + Shift + C/V to copy’n’paste in the terminal and Ctrl + C/V to do it everywhere else. That’s hard to get used to for anyone who hasn’t been born and bred on Linux! So too is the switch from super to ctrl, if you’re coming from the Mac.

Omarchy tackles both problems with unified clipboard hotkeys that work (almost) everywhere. They are:

Hotkey Command
Super + C Copy
Super + X Cut
Super + V Paste
Super + Ctrl + V Clipboard history

Note that most agent harnesses will use Ctrl + V for pasting images, but Super + V for pasting text.

Clipboard history #

The clipboard history is provided by the Omarchy shell and works for both text and images. You trigger it by Super + Ctrl + V, select your entry with return, and then that’ll be placed on the clipboard ready to paste on Super + V.

You can also search the history just by starting to type:

clipboard-history-search

Super is on a Mac, Win elsewhere. On a Mac, Raycast/Spotlight take Space before the browser sees it, so Ctrl works in place of Super for all of these.
