Link thumbnail preview in clipboard history

[Skone]

Potential feature suggestion: Ability to toggle on/off background download of link thumbnails for any links saved to clipboard: so that when you go through the clipboard manager, they show up on the image preview.

 

This would be useful if you have lots of youtube links in your clipboard, for example, and want to make sure you're pasting the correct one.

Is there a way to do this?

No, but I also like the idea. Optionally, I’d say it could (perhaps as an extra setting) always auto-download page thumbnails when a URL is copied (save it to a cache, so be purged if needed). That way cycling through those URLs would be blazing fast, instead of having to do a web request and wait for each one.

@lynxlinius@bazerman Here's (an admittedly non-feature-full) workflow that does that:

Nice work man! This looks great. I hope they introduce this natively soon 🙏️
