What this fork changes

ClipHistory is a personal fork of Weiyuan Kong’s ClipHistory. The capture engine, AES‑256‑GCM encryption, search, and per‑app exclusions are the original’s, unchanged. This fork rearranges the interaction design:

• A bottom‑tray mode. A full‑width tray rises from the bottom of the screen, showing clips as large horizontal preview cards you scan with ← / →. It’s the default now; the classic centred popup is still a setting away.
• Files, not just text and images. Copy files in Finder and they land in your history — paste drops the real files back, with a thumbnail preview for images.
• Paste keeps your formatting. ↵ pastes with the original styling; ⇧↵ pastes as plain text. Styled clips also preview with their real bold, italics, and colour.
• A redesigned, quieter popup. A Liquid Glass background, no branding header or toolbar buttons — it opens straight into search, with a cleaner type scale and legible keyboard hints.
• Open it where you want. Bottom tray, centre, top, bottom, or at the cursor — set the popup’s position in Settings.
• Keyboard‑first pin and delete. ⌘P pins the selected item, ⌘⌫ removes it, without reaching for the mouse.
• A quieter menu bar. Hide the menu bar icon entirely and reach Settings from the gear button in the popup.
• The shortcut recorder works. Fixed a bug where you couldn’t change the hotkey in Settings.
