CopyPaste
Everything you copied, still there.
You copied an address ten minutes ago and then copied something else. It is gone, and the only way back is to go and find it again.

What it does
- It keeps a history of what you copy, searchable, on your own disk.
- Passwords and API keys are left out: clipboard content from password managers is ignored.
- Copying the same text again without styles no longer discards the formatting already stored.
- History, images and settings can be exported and imported as a backup file.
