similar to 'static' attribute of clipit

Hi - sorry for the delay.

This seems like a nice idea - though I'm not sure how this would be implemented. At the moment the clipster history is a list which is simply appended to/removed from - as such there is no obvious way to 'pin' an item to a particular 'position' in the list.

I'm imagining something like a 'favourites' list, to one side of the main history, which could be accessed by cmd-line flags/hotkeys in the GUI, where position was maintained. But there may be better ways.

I've flagged this as 'help wanted' as I'm a bit busy just now and don't have much time to devote to enhancements, but if someone else wants to do the planning and/or implementing I'm happy to review this as a new feature!

snippets are useful but I think they belong in a separate tool

My vote on this one.
Suggestions:

• (As you said) Add a new board PERMANENT
• ACTION:BOARD:COUNT[:CONTENT] would be SEND:PERMANENT:X:CONTENT: where X is the position in the list
  • Do we accept empty items to allow for ordering ?
  • If we do not, if X is already filled, do we overwrite or do we insert ? Insert is more comfortable, but I don't know if it's easy to implement.
• A command that takes an item from a board and push it in X position in the PERMANENT board
