ClipIt icon indicating copy to clipboard operation
ClipIt copied to clipboard

sequential paste/"pop mode" (feature request)

Open rockyoceans opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

Suppose I want to copy a name, say "Bob Smith", and an email, say "[email protected]" from a document, into a form that has three fields: (1) "First Name", (1) "Last Name", and (3) email I would like to be able to copy "Bob", then copy "Smith", then "copy [email protected]" and then go to the form and paste one after the other. It would be nice if after I pasted one, it was deleted from ClipIt so I don't even have to go to the history and select the next one, it's already loaded and ready to go. I think a fitting name could be "pop mode" where after you paste something, that entry just pop's off.

Could this be done with native paste directly? If ClipIt does not own the paste, then it could still be implemented by using a different key-binding. That is to say, you could allow the user to pick a key-binding (default to ctrl-alt-v?) that, when called, would use the system's paste function and then pop off the element in ClipIt.

Thank you!

It looks quite useful! In fact, just implementing an externally-controlled paste would be tremendous, as it would also allow to make shortcuts like "paste my email" (currrently, the best one can do is automatically put the email in the clipboard, and then manually paste it).
