Earlier quoted context omitted.

Alfred is a good software, but I miss the possibility to resize the clipboard history window to see more content in the preview panel. Same issue (for me) in Raycast. If someone knows how to enable such possibility, please share with us.

It shows 15 items by default, which seems more than enough for me, and also offers search/filtering. But if for some reason that's not enough, then I guess it does miss out on that one item. I can't possibly imagine why you would need to see more results on the screen at one time, but everyone has different needs I suppose!

Maybe I wasn't clear. I was talking about the preview panel. Sometimes I copy content of a source code (*.cpp) file, and I need to quickly look at what I have copied in the preview panel. I have to scroll a lot to look at the source code. In ClipBook I just resize the clipboard history window to see more in the preview panel without scrolling.

I never thought about this. Thanks for asking. I will definitely add it, so you can add any app to the list of software that must be ignored.

See this site: http://nspasteboard.org/

Thank you so much!

Very nice and clean! Only feature request I have is to allow window repositioning and resizing :)

You can resize the window using mouse. Like any other regular window. I didn't implement the resizing feature using keyboard shortcuts yet. As for repositioning window, you can drag the window by dragging the panel with the keyboard shortcuts on the left-bottom side of the window.

Ah yes, that's what I meant. I didn't try dragging with the shortcuts panel, that works, thanks!

Thank you. Could you open the clipboard window on the active screen where the cursor is?

I think I can add this feature, so you can open the clipboard window on the screen with the currently focused window. I think a screen with the currently focused window should be treated as active. It's because I can keep my mouse cursor on secondary screen and work (type something) inside a window on the primary screen. Or just add both preferences, so you can decide yourself which screen should be treated as active…

To be honest I'm not sure which one is better. Where the mouse pointer or where your cursor is. Thank you for considering this.

Alfred just doesn't meet my requirements. The filters don't work for my needs.

It's always hard to trust and install desktop apps unless they're open source or coming from a well known dev. But looks promising and useful.

I will make it open source. It's not a problem at all. Thank you for your comment.

That would be very helpful - I also find it hard to trust without seeing code! I've been using Paste which charges something like $20/year. Maybe you can set up a donation link/Github sponsor or so.
