Feature Request: Only paste to system's clipboard

[Eric0625]

Sometimes I prefer not to paste the selected history items immediately, but to only place them in the system clipboard instead. Is there an option to toggle this behaviour on and off?

@Eric0625 if you double-click on a history item or single-click on the copy icon of a history item, PasteBar will copy the content to the system clipboard. If you perform the same action while holding the ALT key (Windows) or the Command key (Mac), PasteBar will copy the content to the system clipboard and paste it directly at your cursor's position. This functionality also applies to PasteBar clips on the boards.

For the Quick Paste Window, if you don't want to paste content directly at your current cursor position, you can select the active window instead of an input field or text editor. In this case, the content of the history item will be copied to the system clipboard first. PasteBar will then attempt to paste it. However, if this action is not permitted, nothing will be pasted.

Hope this helps.

Hi @kurdin, thanks for the reply. I use this "Recent History" menu frequently on Mac, and what I hope is an option to copy the item to the system clipboard without automatically pasting it after I select the item.

Ok, yeah, I understand. I'll see if I can add some option to handle this case, but again, you can always change current focus from your editor or input field to just a window or click away from the place you pasting and clicking the item in Recent History menu will copy the item value into clipboard, pasting only working when you have a focus on text or input field.
