Hi everyone,

Quick update on Clippy Land, the clipboard applet for COSMIC! I'm really glad to say that it's finally hit its first stable release, v1.0.0!

I’ve been polishing a few things based on feedback and my own daily use. Here are some of the nice quality-of-life changes in this release:

Persistent Pinned Entries: Pinned items now survive app restarts and system reboots, so your important snippets won’t disappear.
Safer History Clearing: The "Clear History" action now only clears unpinned entries, keeping your pinned items safe.
Configurable Limits: A new in-popup settings panel lets you adjust history size, pinned item limits, image size limits, and more.
Better Text Preview: Long text entries open in a preview overlay that you can now scroll using Up/Down or k/j. q closes the preview, and Esc still works as expected.
Performance & Rendering Cleanup: Did some backend cleanup so the applet is more reliable, responsive, and avoids unnecessary GPU/DRI permissions where possible.

This is still mostly a passion project for scratching my own itch and learning more Rust/COSMIC along the way, but it’s been really rewarding seeing people try it out and report issues. Thank you all!

This project is just as fun as it is time-consuming, and my (auto-diagnosed) ADHD is already itching to build something new (I'm currently prototyping another applet heavily inspired by Weylus). Because of this, I will be pivoting to focus mostly on bug fixes and stability moving forward, rather than adding major new features.

As always, feedback and bug reports are highly welcome!

Please consider give Clippy Land a star on GitHub so more COSMIC users can discover it, cheers!

Hi everyone,

Quick update on the clipboard manager I posted about a while ago. Clippy Land is finally available directly on Cosmic Store, so you don't have to deal with manual builds anymore if you just want to try it out, you can find it under the applets section in Cosmic Store.

Since the last time I shared it, I've added a few things:

Pinned items: You can pin up to 5 entries to the top
Better UI: Cleaned up the applet a bit to make it look more native.
Search: Finally added a search bar.
Full Keyboard Navigation: You can use arrow keys or h/j/k/l to move between entries, pin, and delete items.
Global Toggle: With a little workaround is possible to open the history with a shortcut, which works great with keyboard navigation as no interaction with the mouse is needed

Here is a brief showcase where you can see which key I'm pressing. Toggle in my case is assigned to super+v (sorry for widescreen)

I'm still building this as I learn more Rust and COSMIC environment, so feedback is always welcome.
