Setting to clear current clipboard when clearing history · Issue #392 · p0deje/Maccy (original) (raw)
I don't have Windows, could you show screenshot and explain how it's implemented there?
Pressing the "clear all" button clears the current clipboard as well as all history.
@p0deje Just checking- does this make sense? I can provide more details if needed.
I'm not 100% sure that's the best way to have it. What if I copied something, then sometime later I open Maccy, and clear its history. Now I don't have anything on the clipboard. Would I really want that?
Introducing such side effects can be useful to some users but harmful to others. I wonder if there is any way to make it more obvious to the user.
Ah yeah, I was just suggesting a setting for it, for people to opt in if they wanted to- or, there can be a separate button to clear all? That might be better.
I would happily merge PR adding this. There should be a new checkbox called "Clear the system clipboard too" in the "Advanced" preferences tab with the explanation that when enabled, clearing the history would also clear the current system clipboard.
