Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Would be nice if PowerToys had a clipboard feature/enhancement that could store more than the default 25 items. From a layman user, it seems to me that such a change should be really easy to make?
Scenario when this would be used?
Frequently I find myself wanting to check stuff I copied a few hours/days ago, and I see that its no longer in the clipboard history. So having an enhancement for this would be incredibly useful.
