Context
I use the Windows 10 Cloud Clipboard every day. It's great to have a built-in Clipboard Manager, which really helps in tons of development situations (e.g. when managing snippets of text between editor windows). However, the Cloud Clipboard:

  • Only supports the last 25 copied items, hindering it's usefulness as a recent history of copies from a programming session. I frequently want to dredge back up a key item I copied perhaps 2 hrs ago, and often that's fallen off the most recent 25 list, which is frustrating.
  • Doesn't allow for selection via searching through recent entries by keyboard, which slows down pasting in entries. I really miss this feature when compared to the macOS clipboard manager I use, the excellent Pastebot.
  • Doesn't play will when pasting into the Windows Terminal.

Requests

  • Make the length of history in Cloud Clipboard configurable, and support large histories (~1000 entries).
  • Add a search window to the cloud clipboard that gets focus on typing when the Cloud Clipboard is active (e.g. Win + V, "foo" would filter down to only entries containing the substring "foo"). Hitting enter after a search should immediately paste in the top (highlighted) result from the filter.
  • Paste as plain text is a super common requirement when working with code. If this can be added as a power user feature (e.g. shift + enter would paste plain) that would be extremely convenient when copying code from an editor into a rich text doc.
  • Nit suggestion: deprioritise the 'Automatic Syncing' in the cloud keyboard. I always disable it to avoid surprises with sensitive text leaving the device I'm working on, and I don't work between devices where the context is the same enough for it to be a useful feature. If syncing is holding back the local clipboard manager from being more full featured/supporting larger histories, that would be the wrong priority in my opinion.

Even better to all the above - open source the Cloud Clipboard! I would love to have the opportunity to put up PRs that address these features myself. :)

Hope this issue is in spirit with this new repo. Keep up the great work.
