[Feature Request] Directly pasting the selected clip in addition to storing into clipboard buffer #136

Closed mil-ad closed 4 years ago

mil-ad commented 4 years ago

I almost always want to "paste" something from my clipboard history which means in clipmenu's current form I first have to select the clip and then paste manually. It'd be nice if there was an option to do this in one go. One way I can think of implementing this would be doing something like below at the very end:

echo "$chosen_clip" | tr -d '\n' | xclip -selection clipboard
xdotool key Shift+Insert

Hi! This looks like a duplicate of https://github.com/cdown/clipmenu/issues/129. I'd suggest you reply to the existing concerns there :-)
