Review of "WayToClip" version 1

Details Page Preview

WayToClip

Keyboard-driven clipboard manager. Press a shortcut, a popup opens at your cursor, press 1-9 to paste. Fast, simple, efficient. Inspired by the classic Windows utility CLCL, with monitoring logic built upon Clipboard Indicator. NOTE: No shortcut is set by default. Please go to the extension settings to bind a custom shortcut (e.g., Alt+X) to "Toggle the cursor popup".
