Request for an automatic add-video-to-queue option for URLs read from the clipboard

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

No

Describe the solution you'd like

When you want to add a lot of video URLs to the queue then it would be handy if you optionally do not need to click on the + (Add video to queue) button for each video. It would then be very nice if Open Video Downloader has an option to automatically add the video URL that is on the clipboard to the queue.

What I mean is the following:

• The user starts Open Video Downloader.
• The user enables this new automatic add-to-queue option in the settings menu.
• The user starts up a webbrowser and navigates to a suported video website.
• The user copies the URL of a video to the clipboard.
• Open Video Downloader detects the new string on the clipboard and reads it.
• Open Video Downloader will do a simple validation to make sure that the string looks like a valid URL (for instance by just checking if it starts with http:// or https://).
• Open Video Downloader adds the URL to the list of to-be-downloaded URLs (as if the user clicked on the + (Add video to queue) button).
• Open Video Downloader clears the clipboard.
• A short beep will sound to inform the user that the URL has been successfully added (because the user does not watch the Open Video Downloader window).
• Open Video Downloader continues to monitor the clipboard for more URLs till the user starts the downloads.

Describe alternatives you've considered

If such a feature is not possible, then it would be nice to have a feature to import a list of URLs from a text file. This way, a separate utility can create the text file with the URLs and Open Video Downloader will then import all the URLs automatically.

I would love to see an auto-download function for youtube URLs captured in the clipboard.
