gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect VS gnome-clipboard-history

I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/tag/v55 does not mention security fixes. Do you have more information?

I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.

it works, but the github says the project doesn't have dedicated developers. https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki

-For Gsconnect the Devs are working on it, and already have a [pull request]https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/pull/1475) but there seem to be a few bugs left.

GSConnect

Ubuntu uses GNOME. I use a GNOME extension, Clipboard History. It works well.

I'm currently using 4 extensions.

system-monitor (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/). It is nice to see my CPU and memory usage at a glance with some history. I don't look too often but it can be good for understanding how builds are progressing, check that my software is utilizing parallelism well and see when things are in an infinite loop gobbling RAM.

Clipboard History (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-histor...)

I can't live without a clipboard manager, this seems to do a decent job.

Bing Wallpaper (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-c...)

I don't see my wallpaper often but when I open the menu or log in it is nice to have a new beautiful picture.

AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-supp...)

I like icons in my toolbar.

Clipboard History

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-history/ – it's a 10x boost to my productivity since my daily job is copying snippets of code from StackOverflow /s

AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support Because it's needed, and GS doesn't provide for it. Bluetooth Quick Connect Until GS supports this by default. [Caffeine] Because that's how it should be by default. Clipboard History Because I frequently need several bits of text to paste at different times, and my workflow is often non-linear. ddterm Because I frequently use the terminal for small one-off operations and I prefer to summon and dismiss the terminal with one keystroke whenever needed. Besides, it's one of the best terminal emulators for GS. Dim On Battery Power Because GS doesn't do that, and it should. GSConnect Obviously. Hot Edge Because it greatly simplifies workflow and eliminates the need for a dock extension. Primary Input on LockScreen Because Gnome devs haven't fixed this bug for ages, and it's frustrating to have non-latin layouts even available for the system password input. Unite Because it takes care of focusing windows that demand attention and removing titlebars on maximized windows (precious vertical real estate). I also use it for aesthetic purposes: to remove the Activities button, to display the current window title instead of it (very handy with maximized browser - shows the page title using almost all the space left of the clock), and also to shrink the distance between panel items (Unite does it better than Just Perfection).

-For the Clipboard Manager, I couldn't find the one you mean, but I had good experiences with Clipboard History by SUPERCILEX (I'm using it right now to copy the links). Clipman by popov895 seem pretty similair but I haven't tested it. Pano - Clipboard Manager by alperenelhan is a fairly new one that looks awesome, but is still missing some features I need.

ArcMenu, Blur my Shell, Clipboard History, Dash to Panel, Desktop Icons, Pop Shell and Sound Input and Output Device Chooser are the ones used while also switching "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" on.

A more performant and newer alternative to clipboard indicator is clipboard history

On Ubuntu, Fedora, and similar, this is probably the best-integrated one: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-history/
