Description hvm 2016-03-02 13:15:11 UTC

Is it feasible to store the context of each clipboard entry? I'm thinking of:
 - source application
 - window name
 - date/time
Also it might be useful to store the same information for contexts in which the entries were used (i.e. where/when they were pasted into)

All this information would be searchable as well.

Reproducible: Always

Sorry, but no. Such information is not available on Wayland. On X11 it might be possible to get it somehow, but only when interacting low level with the windowing system. Klipper, though, only uses QClipboard, which doesn't expose such meta data.
