When indicator menu is open, navigate using arrows and select with ENTER about gnome-shell-extension-clipboard-indicator

Another suggestion :
When an element is added to the list (ie when something is copied to the clipboard) it should be added after the currently selected item and not at the end of the list.

for exemple :
List :
A X
B <- currently selected
C X
D X

if 'E' is added to the clipboard
List
A X
B X
E <-
C X
D X

instead of
A X
B X
C X
D X
E <-

with this new beheviour the user can switch to the previously selected item using the keyboard shortcut 'previous entry' once instead of cycle though the entries all over again

Yeah, but it breaks apart the chronology of your history. I wouldn't implement such a feature, I think it's too confusing for most users.

TL;DR: +1

Long story: I just moved from Debian stable wheezy to Debian testing jessie. I was using parcellite as a clipboard manager. My usual workflow is: edit something, hit my keyboard shortcut to show history of clipboard, move down with arrow to select one, hit enter. And voilà, this is pasted.

I just installed:

• gpaste, and associated gnome shell extension, customize the keyboard shortcut, use my keyboard shortcut, and everything is frozen, no keyboard anymore, no mouse click
• parcellite, my older favorite, keyboard shortcut is not working
• diodon, keyboard shortcut works intermitently, that is 1 out of 4
• this Clipboard indicator. I love the simplicity. It is just missing the "Enter" for chosing an older clip.
• well, absolutely no clipboard manager working on Debian testing jessie, the one that should be stable in a few months. Here you have a chance to be the only one clipboard manager working a such a distrib like Debian stable ! :-)

If I can help testing this, please let me know. If you can guide me on how to implement this, respecting your coding rules, I am ready to try, I have no clipboard manager working, I am really to spend some time on this, I loose too much not having a clipboard manager.

Please, implement ENTER selection feature!

Alright, I fixed it myself (see pull request), though you will need one extra "arrow-UP" to initiate navigation... I couldn't find how to set focus on the first item automatically.
