Hi @nickustinov, thanks for releasing itsypad, it's what I was looking for!

What I particularly like about your app is that the clipboard history is included.

But I can't help but think that the clipboard tab gets a bit lost in amongst the other note tabs, when it's a special feature, not another note.
If i've got lots of notes, I'll often either have to scroll left or right to find the clipboard tab, or use the dropdown of tabs and find Clipboard on the list.

I can drag the clipboard tab to the start or the end, and that makes it easier to spot.
But if I restart the app, the clipboard tab ends back and then end of the list. If you then add more notes, it ends up somewhere in the middle of the list. So there's still that little pause where you have to look down the list of tabs to spot the word 'Clipboard'.

So I'm wondering if a quick-ish fix would help with this, either:

  • make the clipboard tab special, so it's always visible, or at least always at the start or end of the list
  • have a toolbar button that takes you to the clipboard tab, perhaps just to the left of the dropdown list of notes.

Just a small suggestion!

Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion! In the upcoming 1.8.1 release, the Clipboard tab is now permanently pinned to the right end of the tab bar – it stays visible at all times and can't be scrolled away or reordered.

On top of that, you can now pin any regular tab too via right-click → "Pin tab", and pinned tabs will always appear to the left of Clipboard.
