I'm looking for a good program for managing clipboard history on the Ubuntu desktop used primaraly for software development. Ditto is exactly what I need, except it wont run on Ubuntu.

Try glipper, a GNOME clipboard app, and parcelite, a GTK+ clipboard manager. Both should be available to install from the repository.

parcelite's hotkeys worked better for me. I had to check a box in preferences to make it pull selected text in addition to ctrl-C'd text – Arthur Ulfeldt Oct 9 '09 at 18:20
glipper is lacking good search – Arthur Ulfeldt Feb 25 '10 at 20:05
I've found glipper very crashy, does it work fine for you? – J. Pablo Fernández Jun 8 '10 at 5:44

If you're using unity or gnome shell, Clipit is a fork of parcellite with AppIndicator support: clipit.rspwn.com – pydave May 4 '11 at 19:06

Just to be complete, there's also the older "xclipboard".

Under KDE (Kubuntu, etc) there's "Klipper".

Try anamnesis.

I created it because there wan't an alternative for Ditto that works on Ubuntu, and especially because I needed to be able to search the clipboard history.

Note it is still under development and it needs more tests, but is working fine for me.
