Unified clipboard

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

The one exception to this uniformity is the file manager (Nautilus). There you'll unfortunately have to make do with Ctrl + C/X/V for clipboard operations.


Clipboard history

The clipboard history is provided by Walker 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:
