Paste multiple clipboard entries

[andy4222]

Hi Alfred community, I wanted to

 

1. Paste all items in my Alfred clipboard history, how can I accomplish that? Would be good to have them pasted in the same order as I copied them in (if possible)

2. Paste previous items one by one. Like on each hotkey press, I can paste N (latest clipboard item), N-1, N-2, N-3....

for order,just uncheck it.

That’s the use case for the Sequential Paste workflow.

I tried it and it does paste in order, but what about `

Have a Run Script with default settings and code:

 

sqlite3 "${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Databases/clipboard.alfdb" 'SELECT item FROM clipboard WHERE dataType = 0 ORDER BY ts DESC;'

 

And send it to a Copy to Clipboard Output.

Do make sure you understand what pasting all items entails, though, it will be massive.

Works like a charm. I guess if I remove "DESC", it should retain the LIFO ordering?

 

Also, for some reason the last 2 entries are always out of order. If I copy 1, 2, 3, 4. The output should be 1, 2, 3, 4, but it 1, 2, 4, 3

Use ASC to guarantee opposite order.

Maybe you’re copying them too fast, retaining the same timestamp?
