Hey HN

I built a tool called ClipCapsule, a clipboard manager for Linux that's designed to be entirely keyboard-driven.

Here’s what it does:

Lets you recall and paste previous clipboard entries using just CTRL + SHIFT + 1~9.

Keeps a history of everything you copy, in a local database.

Moves selected items to the top of the clipboard stack (so CTRL + V pastes it).

Built with Go + WailsJS for a fast native feel.

No cloud. No telemetry. No fluff.

Right now, you’ll need to run it with sudo or allow access to /dev/input/eventX for keyboard capture. We’re working on a proper daemon mode, so you won’t need the GUI open to use shortcuts.

This is still a work in progress, but it’s already been boosting my workflow. I’d love feedback or contributions from anyone interested!

Would love to hear your thoughts or feature ideas.
