Agreed on all fronts. Although I’ve not experienced needing a third party clipboard, am I missing something?

- mostlysimilar 4y agoI just think it's another example of failing to advance a feature that has stayed bare-bones for decades for no good reason. All major operating systems treat clipboards as a single "register": one location, you copy/cut to it and paste from it. If I was the head honcho of macOS I would have a whole team dedicated to just this feature alone. A simple first step would be "clipboard history", where each time you cut/paste it replaces the contents of the register but you can see previous entries. This is what most third party tools do and is what I use on macOS. But it could be so much more than that too. Clipboard should be a whole application you can launch with a catalog of all of the stuff you've copied to it. Images in one location, code snippets in another, text. From there you should be able to send it to other places for storage: send image to photos, send text to a file somewhere / notes app.
