# 10. Input Method {#input-method}
# 10. Clipboard {#clipboard}

**Labwc** does not store clipboard contents after an application quits.
For this functionality you need a _clipboard manager_.

For example, you could add a line similar to this to
`~/.config/labwc/autostart`:

wl-paste --watch cliphist store &

[clapboard] and [clipse].

alive. See the documentation of the individual tools for further information.
