Clipboard management with 'Paste all Functionality' for Linux

I've just frustratingly spend a couple of hours looking for some way to paste multiple items recently copied in one go. I.e copy a line, copy another line, copy a link, then 'PASTE ALL'

I've tried

pastie
glipper
clipit
diodon
xlip
xsel

… and nothing will do it.

This seems like a really simple thing. How can I achieve that, maybe through a Python script or something?

I'm using 32bit Ubuntu 12.04

Can be done easily by a shell script using of the tools above. – artistoex – 2012-09-22T10:19:37.237

@artistoex how would I do that? With xclip? – James – 2012-09-22T14:35:41.680

Straight forward. Poll the clipboard. Log every new state in a temporary file and upon some kind of signal (e.g. keystroke) write the accumulated lines back to the clipboard. – artistoex – 2012-09-22T14:45:58.633

I tried to make it a keyboard shortcut from the keyboard manager with no luck so I just

1… "so you just" what? – slhck – 2019-04-08T07:08:40.057

Diodon has plugins by RedHatter, one of which is paste-all, but compiling it fails on my machine. Maybe you have more luck, and are able to tell me how to get them compiled. I want this too.
