[Enhancement] Clipboard paste button

[ueen]

i'd like a paste button in the text dialog if there is something in the clipboard, that would save a few clicks.

Otherwise this project became so awesome, i'm out of words, it just works so magically <3

So there is already #489 to select files from the clipboard in advance to initiate share-mode.

What you mean is a possibility to send files from the clipboard after selecting a peer, correct?

[ueen]

No, not Files, text or links you know?

[schlagmichdoch]

Why not simply click in the textbox and select "paste"?

[ueen]

Doesn't work or requieres a long click or 2-3 clicks

[schlagmichdoch]

The best way would probably be to open a small dialog on request, where the user has the possibility to choose between:

• Click to send files
• Click to send clipboard
• Click to send message

Alternatively, we could implement everything into one send message dialog which would make this similar to a chat interface.

Hmm nuot sure, the text dialog seems like a good place, I'm trying to reduce clicks here (:

I'm trying to reduce clicks here

Same here.

Current implementation:

1. Long click on peer
   -> Message dialog opens
2. Click in message text field
   -> Paste possibility shown by OS (via keyboard or tooltip)
3. Click paste tooltip / btn
   -> Text is inserted into message
4. Click on "Send"
   -> Clipboard content is sent

Possible new implementation
On Android:

1. Click peer
   -> Dialog to send opens with the options: files, clipboard, and message
2. Click "Clipboard"
   -> Clipboard content is sent

On iOS (because of constraints):

1. Click peer
   -> Dialog to send opens with the options: files, clipboard, and message
2. Click "Clipboard"
   -> iOS paste tooltip is shown
3. Click "Paste"
   -> Clipboard content is sent

Do you know, that you can also use the share menu to send files, text, or links via PairDrop quickly?

This would be really great! Often you only have one peer and some clipboard content.
Single click to send then would be awesome!

Especially on iOS where long press is really tedious 😩😮‍💨
