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.
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.
