Clipboard Retention After Shutdown / Restart

[mitchwalton]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

No. However, it makes way more since for the clipboard history to retain after a restart / shutdown.

Describe the solution you'd like

Clipboard always retains it's history.

Use case

When phone shuts down / restarts the clipboard history still retains. I know you designed it this way to erase after such things but it's very annoying to have to pin to retain.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Additional context

None.

+1 this erase is annoying

Perhaps if this is implemented, I think this should be toggle-able.

I believe it would be a good idea to implement some kind of encryption, should the history be placed into a file, to protect privacy. (Could be some mix of device-specific identifiers, or something permanent perhaps, though that would be intruding permissions... - brainstorming)

How is the history retrieved, anyway? Is it from the Android system or stored in the app storage? If the latter, I'm curious how it ensures that it always fetches copied text (or does it?)

I honestly think wiping it on reboot makes more sense than by "timeout," but I agree this should be disable-able.

The history is not really retrieved anywhere. Every text copied while the app is running is put to history.

Since the history is in memory (except for the pinned entries), they are removed on app restart.

I don't want any weird semi-duplications of existing mechanism in the app. So most I'm willing to do is automatically pinning new entries when some setting is enabled.

Thanks for the response and that idea you mentioned works. I'll be waiting:)

This should be optional. I don't want my keyboard to remember my clipboard after I'm done.

Clipboard history is already optional.
