How It Works
zlaunch runs a background monitor that watches for clipboard changes. When you copy something, it's added to the history.
The history is stored in memory and cleared when the daemon stops.
Mode Access
zlaunch show --modes clipboardQuick keybind (Hyprland):
bind = SUPER, V, exec, zlaunch show --modes clipboardNotes
Privacy: Clipboard history is not persisted across restarts, but sensitive data (passwords) will appear in history during a session. Be aware when sharing your screen.
