Feature request: Compact mode in context menu #150

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Current history modal takes a lot of space and requires moving cursor to the bottom of the monitor - especially annoying on 4k screens and when many items have to be pasted one-by-one in single form.

Describe the solution you'd like Introduce compact mode with simple list of text/image as context menu to input field or cursor position. This is the way Windows's clipboard history works and it's very convenient and natural solution.

Describe alternatives you've considered I assume detecting every type of field in every framework may be difficult (like Electron apps) so it may be more reasonable to display context menu in position of the cursor instead of input field itself so it would be more reliable and universal yet still convenient. I've already changed shortcut to Win+V and the rest of behaviors can be already tweaked in settings so this is the only feature I see that's missing.

Additional context Windows Clipboard History: image

This is a nice idea. I will consider it.
