Feature request: faster pasting

[danielo515]

Hello,

First of all, thanks for this great piece of open source software.
My desired usage is to just toggle between the most recent copied texts while pasting.
This is something that has been solved very elegantly by [citation needed] on windows.
This is how it works:

1. You hit the paste shortcut (usually control+v)
2. If you hold the control key, then the menu appears
3. Every time you hit the V key again while holding the control key it selects the next available item on the history
4. When you release the control key the selection is pasted

This greatly enhances my productivity because usually I want to paste the current clip or maybe one or two clips ago, and I don't want to open the clipy menu, select the history, then select the clip and then paste. Too many steps for something that I do too often.

Thanks and regards

Bravo! I was almost ready to create the same suggestions. This is the exactly behavior that the app should have to be absolutely perfect. +10000 to this

I agree. This is what Jumpcut did. When I searched for a replacement, I ended up trying Clipy, but I had to abandon it because it lacked this behaviour, sorry.

I agree also... furthermore, 90% of cases, I want to paste the 2nd item in the history. So the initial focus should be on the 2nd item IMHO.
