Sometimes I wish I could search the history to avoid re-copying something again.

B.T.W. I have used ClipMenu for years. Good Job.

@hewigovens Search the history is scheduled to be implemented by the end of the year. Please wait a little more.

Thank you for using Clipy 😄

@Econa77
Today is 2018, is this inprogress?

I want a hotkey to populate a window to search history and click to paste it.

Currently each copy is represented as plist file on disk, we want some
index to search on, I would change this to use sqlite or some embedded
datastore..

I'd love this feature too!!

Long story (sorry): I was loving ClipMenu (origin of Clipy) and thought the project was dead, then I found a $5 equivalent (weirdly looking alike BTW) on the AppStore but it did start bugging recently (the shortcut fails half of the time) and searched ClipMenu again and found Clipy this time. But the Search feature is missing!!

All that to say, if you desperate for the search feature: you can try the PasteBox app

I hope we'll get it in 2019.

@jobwat Maybe someone picked Clippy code and made some changes and pushed it to App store :)

+1 - would really like to see this, similar with what Ditto has on Windows - you just open the whole history and whatever you type is already searched for

Been a big Clipy user but similar to @ jobwat, I looked for an option with search elsewhere.

Found a decent, open option called Maccy: https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy.
