It works great on Linux, supposedly works on Windows, and support is experimental on OS X 10.9+. The author of CopyQ is extremely responsive to features and bug reports (he implemented a feature that I'm pretty sure only I use, just for me). This is one of the best clipboard managers out there (although note the focus is on features over lightweight) but it is not well known. To put an image on the clipboard, you can do e.g. copyq write image/svg - < image.svg For more info, see https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ To install, I believe it's a simple cmake . make sudo make install First you must have dependencies. See the INSTALL file for explicit instructions for which packages you need for Ubuntu. Let me know if you want help with anything. Best, Scott
