Built for the keyboard.
Every part of it is reachable without reaching for the mouse.
Start typing. The list narrows.
There is no search field to click into first. The history opens with the cursor already in it, so whatever you type filters straight away — across text, file names and the app each entry came from.
Look before you paste.
Press space and the entry opens beside the list, the way Quick Look works in Finder. Images render full size, long text stays readable, and you can select just the part you want and copy that instead.
Narrow to what you need.
Arrow left and right to move between everything, text, images and files. Useful when you know you copied a screenshot twenty minutes ago and do not want to scroll past everything since.
Swap between two things with one chord.
⌥⌘V pastes the entry before the current one straight into the app you are in, with no window appearing at all. That entry then moves to the top, so pressing it again swaps back. Copying two values and alternating between them stops being a chore.
Keep the things you reach for.
⌘P pins an entry to the top of the list. Pinned entries are exempt from every retention rule — they never expire, they are never trimmed away by newer copies, and they survive Clear History.
