Clipboard Manager for Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 [duplicate]
I'm looking for an application that can copy two or more items and then I can choose one of them to paste. Indeed, it should work on terminal.

Clipit is now deprecated. The official replacement is Diodon. To download Diodon, you can use the instructions here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clipit is the best among all.
sudo apt-get install clipit
Launch it, one icon will appear on top right where you can choose one of your clipboards.
CopyQ is a cross-platform, well-designed and fully-featured clipboard manager (my favorite). It features among others a (very handy) command line interface.

sudo apt install copyq
