[Feature Request] Selective delete of single clips from history (vs. full delete of clip history)

[MalEbenSo]

Please add a way to delete individual entries in the clipboard history.

Say that I wish to remove clip entry 3 and 8 from the history.
It seems to me that I cannot do that unless I delete the full history of clips.

I tried

• right-clicking on the entry
• pressing "backspace" while hovering over the entry
  Neither worked.

Thank you.

On Clipy 1.2.1 this functionality can be enabled on Preferences > Beta > Delete history, and if enabled entries can be removed from the clipboard menu if clicked with the modifier key:

However this implementation is a bit cumbersome because the menu will close after clicking the entry. It would be easier if an entry could be removed just by pressing del, as it happens in the Windows Clipboard.

Both beta options work for me: "Delete history" and "Paste and delete history".

I agree with @AntonioRedondo's comment on usability enhancements. To me the issues mentioned are distinct:

• Menu should not close after clicking the entry
• Using del would be more intuitive. To be precise: On MacBooks del requires fn+backspace, so just backspace is preferred

Also:

• calling it "history" is misleading. This affects specific entries, so "Delete entry" seems more adequate.

I don't mind the click with modifier to delete an entry from the list. It was surprising that the menu closed after clicking, but otherwise it appears to work as expected. I would like to be able to use the delete key (without fn) for when I'm using the keyboard to navigate the history AND to use the modified click but have it leave the refreshed menu open.

Will join here instead of creating a new issue: I would like to use "paste and delete" feature to prevent Clipy from storing passwords I'm copying from a Bitwarden browser extension. Since it's not a standalone app I cannot add the extension on the black list.

The paste and delete feature would do the trick but the problem is that the click modifier works only on a click and does not work when i select the entry using the keyboard - which would be much more effective. Is it possible to fix this?
