popup-menu on another user to choice option send text where I can type some text or just paste it from my clipboard and send.

A receiver just get it as small box with text on screen. You can close text box (close cross on corner) or expand to show whole text and copy it

Would like to second this request. For example, take a look at https://snapdrop.net/ and right-click on a person.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was here when I posted my request. https://github.com/szimek/sharedrop/issues/137

Feel free to merge them or delete mine if you want.

This would be an amazing feature if it could be added. Thank you so much!

Contents of my duplicate request: Since this requires no software installation on either end (very awesome!), I think it would be a really useful feature if you could paste text from your clipboard (and maybe whatever else is on the clipboard? Even just text would be great) to the other person.

(I know if you're in the Apple ecosystem AND on the same iCloud account on all the devices then there's a good solution for this already. I know if you have an Android and Windows then you can set up a link... Sort of (seems buggy). But if you have an iPhone and a Windows computer, you're out of luck. And I'm sure there's some other device pairing scenarios that could benefit as well. The only other solutions I see involve downloading software on both ends and often involve creating web accounts. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Perhaps there could be a little bubble above the other avatar's head that would expand a text field when it is tapped/clicked on and then you could paste your clipboard contents in to that.

And on the receiving end I suppose it would then show up in a similar way so you could copy it. Maybe tap a notification bubble on the page to review the text transfer and then click a button to add it to your own clipboard if you want. Or just agree to transfer clipboard contents without review if that's easier? Maybe it could make a stop as a text document on the device if the protocol can only handle file transfers.

I'm not familiar with the programing complexity of this. It "sounds" easy enough to tag along with what you're already doing. But it may very well be quite difficult. I hope you'll consider it. Thank you!

Thank you for this amazing service!
