A clipboard manager would likely still be an applet, but COSMIC applets are integrated into COSMIC DE in a different way from how third-party Gnome extensions are added onto Gnome. I've transferred this feature request to the cosmic-applets repo accordingly.
Technically there is nothing preventing a very deep integration with the rest of the desktop here. Splitting this into an applet only aids maintainability and modularity of the desktop.
FYI, i will be please to integrate my applet https://github.com/wiiznokes/cosmic-clipboard-manager in this repo.

What integration are you thinking of ? The only feature i see will be to show the window on the cursor, and subscribing a global shortcut, but maybe it could be made with an applet idk

Maybe it could pull up the emoji picker as well, i think windows 11 does something similar.
Shameless self promo: I'm also working on a clipboard manager that will integrate with COSMIC (https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/clipboard-history).
@SUPERCILEX You can make another back-end for my applet if you would like. I already have a Wayland watcher here with some fixes: https://github.com/wiiznokes/wl-clipboard-rs/tree/watch
Nice! That will help speed things up, thanks.
I recently heard of Ringboard, haven't tried it yet but it looks really promising, it has wayland and x11 trackers, saves across reboot, supports very long history (according to the repo up to ~30 years), and that history is searchable. Sounds like a good candidate to base an applet on, if not the official one since it does depend on running the server (I don't think running it inside the applet is a good idea) a community made one.
setting COSMIC_DATA_CONTROL_ENABLED=1 in /etc/environment allows copyq to work, as well as clipboard-manager
The clipboard is a essential feature, at least for me and many others. While working, copying and then finding that item by typing Win+V is great. Gnome desktop requires an extension, which sucks, I've used it on windows and kde and it's great. I hope the devs can add it in Cosmic DE, if not possible right now, maybe in near future.
