Click Paste is a focused clipboard panel for reusing recent clipboard content from a custom keyboard. After you give explicit consent and enable Full Access, the keyboard can detect supported text and images only while it is visible and active. Supported items are cached in the shared local app container so you can preview them and choose what to do next. β’ Input text one character at a time into the current field. β’ Treat URL-like text exactly like any other text. β’ Preview cached text and images before taking action. β’ Archive, delete, pin, or clear local cache items from the main app. β’ Share a selected cached image from the main app with the system share sheet. Click Paste does not upload clipboard content, typed text, images, previews, or input context. It contains no ads or third-party analytics. Without Full Access, the keyboard remains available as a setup and status panel, but clipboard history is unavailable.
