Include an app to have a better clipboard by default

[spotlesscoder]

No idea where else to file this - feel free to move it

Situation:
I was writing a review for a vscode extension on vs code market place
When I wanted to submit the review, I was already expecting to be redirected to the sign in page first and potentially having to retype my review after login. So I CTRL + C'd my review to the clipboard

When signing in I had to copy-paste my one-time login code from the email microsoft sent me
I didn't think about it and also CTRL + C'd that code

So my review in the clipboard was gone

I want to access a history of like at least 5-10 clipboard entries in every elementary installation without having to manually setup or install anything
For security reasons, older entries might be deleted after a few minutes (making sure no passwords stay in there for too long), only keeping the latest copied text "forever" (current session)

A case can be made for this, definitively.
Windows has a history appearing on CTRL+V. It is pretty handy, and always there - Once in a while it is needed when juggling with copied entries, or recovering a lost entry.
I need to look whether i can do something like this.

A clipboard is super necessary. For writing code, editing text. At the moment I'm using Copyq to cover this absence.

How open would you be to help me on this ? I see you code, and have a vala repo - Im unfortunately not a vala expert so i would be slow at best

there is at the time a rudimentary-and-ugly wingpanel-indicator which does this. It works, but is as basic as it gets

i would like to do a windows-style clipboard: starts in the background at start logging entries, shows a history window when called

Sorry, but I still don't program. I forked a GitHub repository just out of curiosity and to try to learn. Sorry I can't help you 😔

Yes, i am part of it. I am one of the people driving it, suggesting ideas, it was my concept art being shared and me sharing jeremy's draft :D
