Add chapters for the top bar and its panels, screenshots and recording,
toggles/idle/screensaver, browsers, shell plugins, and networking, which
collects the Wi-Fi, DNS, firewall, and Tailscale material that was spread
across the FAQ, TUIs, and services chapters.

Unified Clipboard & History

Usually on Linux, you need Ctrl + Shift + C/V to copy'n'paste in the terminal and Ctrl + C/V to do it everywhere else. That's hard to get used to for anyone who hasn't been born and bred on Linux! So too is the switch from super to ctrl, if you're coming from the Mac.

Omarchy tackles both problems with unified clipboard hotkeys that work (almost) everywhere. They are:

Hotkey Command
Super + C Copy
Super + X Cut
Super + V Paste
Super + Ctrl + V Clipboard history

Note that most agent harnesses will use Ctrl + V for pasting images, but Super + V for pasting text.

Clipboard history

The clipboard history is provided by the Omarchy shell and works for both text and images. You trigger it by Super + Ctrl + V, select your entry with return, and then that'll be placed on the clipboard ready to paste on Super + V.

You can also search the history just by starting to type:
