About Diodon
Diodon is a clipboard manager for Linux that keeps a history of copied items and integrates with the desktop. It was designed for the Unity desktop and includes a Unity scope, and supports plugins for extra features.
The project is in low maintenance mode: packaging issues and translations are still handled so that Diodon remains in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories, but new features are not planned. It suits users of Debian or Ubuntu who want a simple clipboard history from the distribution packages.
