• Use Case: Secure login fields, remote desktop inputs, terminal-based applications.

Customization

Clippy allows you to:

• Rebind any hotkey to suit your preferences.
• Disable or override conflicting shortcuts.
• Assign shortcuts to additional features like sync or encryption toggle.

Navigate to Settings > Hotkeys within Clippy to customize bindings.

Tips

• Use R, T, and H to quickly filter your clipboard history by relevance.
• Favor frequently used snippets with F and access them instantly with T.
• Press P regularly to sync your history with the cloud (if enabled).
