Open lamyergeier opened 1 year ago

Competition

This feature is supported by clipboard on Microsoft Swiftkeyboard.

In the following screenshot, we can see the UI for setting up clipboard shortcut in the app:

In the following screenshot when I typed the shortcut 1h1 and the middle suggestion is the pinned clipboard entry associated with that shortcut.

How it works

One can assign single or multiple characters as a shortcut, to a particular pinned clipboard entry.

When this shortcut is typed by the user, then the pinned shows the particular pinned entry into suggestion box and pastes the entire content.

Purpose

This is useful as if one has several pinned statements then its hard to visually find pinned statements from clipboard.

@lm41 please check this issue, if its possible to support.

I am working on this project in my spare time, just like the other contributors and the maintainer patrickgold, so not all feature requests can be implemented directly. It is possible that I, or someone else, will take care of it soon, but it is also possible that it will not happen.

On that note. Please don't ping me on these occasions. I hope you can understand that.

hi, I would like to work on this issue.

@VishnuSanal along with the shortcuts it will be nice if one could optimally define tags for each saved entry. Tags are useful in searching and filtering through the entire clipboard.
