Hi,
Since XYplorer already has this clipboard functionality built in, what I’d really love is for it to go a step further: a simple clipboard history that just saves entries as plain files, so you could open and edit them afterwards in a text editor if needed. Nothing fancy, just that.
And since XYplorer is (hopefully) heading towards Mac and Linux versions at some point - it would be amazing if that clipboard history could sync across devices too. On my Mac I use Alfred as a launcher, which has a clipboard feature built in. On Windows I’m on CopyQ, on Linux there’s usually some native clipper. Being able to copy something on Windows and paste it on Mac/Linux (via Dropbox, OneDrive, whatever) would be a huge quality-of-life improvement.
Just an idea

Sorry for the text written by Claude before.
I had the idea to ask you if you could implement this nice feature in XYplorer-, but I was online and needed a shortcut.
The first tools I always install on any of my computers are, besides a file manager, a clipboard manager ...
I don’t know if it’s really true, but it feels faster to manage things through the clipboard than to save code snippets (How often do I send myself snippets or links via WhatsApp^^). But I’m just a hobby user, so what do I know.
Okay, there are enough tools like this out there, and you have enough cooler stuff to do than such a piece of “unnecessary” functionality. But in combination with cross-device syncing, I think this could be a really nice feature and a real must-have thing.
I have no idea how much work it would be to implement something like this. I hope I’m not asking in a bad way.
Simple clipboard history + cross-device sync
