## What it is
Pano is a next-gen clipboard manager implemented as a GNOME Shell extension, offering keyboard-driven navigation, content-aware previews (links, images, code, colors, emoji, files), favorites, and a customizable UI. It is written in TypeScript with GJS and is no longer maintained, with users directed to the Copyous clipboard manager instead.

## Use cases
- manage clipboard history on gnome
- clipboard manager for linux
- paste previously copied text and images
- keyboard-driven clipboard history
- save favorite clipboard items
- preview copied links and colors

## When to choose
- you use GNOME Shell and want a polished, keyboard-driven clipboard manager with content-aware previews
- you need favorites and customizable UI for clipboard history

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - it is explicitly unmaintained
- you use a window manager other than GNOME Shell, such as Hyprland
- you cannot install libgda and gsound dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: desktop-framework, gui
- domain: developer-tools, desktop-applications
- platform: -
- tags: clipboard-manager, gnome-shell-extension, gjs, keyboard-driven, content-aware-previews, unmaintained, linux, gnome-shell, desktop
