Add more options to the clipboard history or add an API to extend it

[danielo515]

Most people don't understand the time saver that a proper clipboard history is. I do, and I use it extensively. However, a lot of times I want to do even more than just going to an element and paste it. The list of things I wish to be able to do is not long, but it is not trivial either.

• Sometimes I want to edit an item before pasting
• Sometimes I want to paste it as plain text, not as rich text
• Often times I want to store them as a snippet
• I want to pin some entries
• I wish I could add some labels to better organise them
• I really like having a fuzzy finder, that takes each space as a separate query, so I can match individual sections of the entry

I think this will make sense for more people ( I hope)

You can use the following APIs in a script:

await getClipboardHistory()
await removeClipboardItem()
await clearClipboardHistory()

While everything you're asking for is definitely possible, I won't have the bandwidth to build out a full-featured clipboard manager for a while.

Will you be open to take a PR that adds some of them?

Yup, always open to PRs ❤️
