[Request] Remove clip from clipboard after paste

Open grimcz opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

One of my clips stores password and it has global-shortcut set so I can easily paste it. Sometimes I forget that this clip replaced previous one in a clipboard and I paste it so the password appears in its textual format in some kind of textbox. This could be awkward if I'm sharing desktop with someone at this time.

Would it be possible to implement feature to mark specific clip (checkbox?) so it is removed from clipboard right after it is pasted? Either clear the clipboard or replace it with previous clip (that is not marked with the checkbox as well).

Thanks in advance.

@grimcz: This is an ITS, so each ticket should report an issue.

What you are doing is fundamentally insecure, and implementing this would not make it secure. The issue is you are using a tool to do something it was not designed to do. Ticket #325 requests a proper solution to the issue that Ditto is not designed to store sensitive entries.

CopyQ has some support for this (although it is not fully built-in).
