Clipboard Expander Pro
Q: Does Clipboard Expander Pro upload my clipboard data to the cloud?
A: No. Clipboard history and settings are stored locally on your device. There is no automatic cloud upload.

Q: How do I paste the last copied items quickly?
A: Use Ctrl+1–9 to paste the most recent items without opening the UI. You can enable an optional Caps Lock modifier to avoid conflicts with other apps.
Q: How does text expansion work?
A: Type a short trigger (e.g., \thanks) and it expands into a full snippet. Use a distinct prefix (like a backslash) so normal words never expand.

A: Yes. Assign a dedicated hotkey for Paste as Plain Text or switch the paste mode in settings when a target strips formatting.

A: Yes. You can create groups for projects or topics and search across your history to find items quickly.

A: Yes. Use exclusion rules and never-store groups for secrets or transient data. You can also clear history anytime.
