Greetings everyone.
I've been working on an NVDA add-on called clip manager that allows you to easily manager clipboard history without this bad default windows clipboard. Some people may already know this add-on, But It was not being updated until I finally got to work on it again.
I know it sounds simple, And I know there are some apps which allow you to do that, But having a screen reader that does not have built-in clipboard is not good, Plus it's very easy, doesn't consume any resources, And accessible. Unlike some apps which I have seen, most are not screen reader friendly, though some of them are still good, But I do still like the idea of having this as an add-on.
You can read more about it here:

Will look on that, but I'm currently using app called Ditto and it's awesome

yeah, I've used the same app before, And it's good, Though for me an NVDA add-on looks much easier, and doesn't require installing extra apps.

The shortcut nvda+v isn't very very good, because this is occupied by usingscreen layout in NVDA

-ell you can customize to whatever you like, But thanks for your tip, I will consider change it to something better.w (Paulinux):

Um, this is not true. NVDA+CTRL+Escape is the default shortcut for screen curtain.
Edit: Well seems I got this wrong. However, this will be removed in 2025.1 (specifically alpha 34867) already so there is no need to change it.

Screen layout and screen curtain is not the same.

As have I noticed.

I'd recommend going for NVDA+shift+v (that's what I set on my side). Cool addon anyway, very helpful.

NVDA+shift+v is also occupied by other add-ons.
I'd suggest leaving the gesture unassigned because there are already not enough keys on our keyboards to assume that every add-on gets its own set of keys.

Btw the add-on is cool! I will check the mentioned ditto program too,but you've did a great work, @diamondStar

@Paulinux
Could you please explain me how do you modify ditto's hotkeys? Looks not so accessible so I try to understand how do I customize them to my needs.

Thank you very much for trying it.
If you also have any suggestions or translations: You're welcome.

Leaving the gesture unassigned is not good. Anyway, It's in input gestures, so if you find his shortcut not comfortable or occupied by other add-ons, You may change it. For me NVDA + v is great, since I don't use screen layout shortcut key.

btw, I forgot to mention that in the readme, But there is a settings for the add-on in NVDA's settings which allows you to control some settings of the add-on.
Thank you everyone for trying it.

Regarding translations, I would translate it into Russian. So I will check the github repo when I have more time.

Thank you.

Lol why don't you guys just use Win+V as shortcut since apparently you don't want to use the normal history anyway?

For me I don't use the normal windows clipboard history so win + v would work for me. But others would say that this shortcut key is occupied by windows clipboard, and therefore I had to use another one.

Um, that was what he means I guess.

Hello.
There is a new version on github, Unfortunately it has not been uploaded to the store yet because the shit NVDA store requires manual approval this time, Which I do't really know why, But I have to wait.
Here are the changes and download link from github:
This version brings new major features, Focusing on preventing users from losing their history as possible. Thus: There are 2 new features that allow you to backup or restore your clipboard history at any time, As well as also preventing accedent deletion of items. Here are the details.
There is a new menu in the context menu: "Backup" That allows you to import and export your clipboard history to any location you choose. Open the add-on's interface, Press the context menu and you should see the new menu, Follow the instructions to import or export your history.
A new checkbox setting in NVDA's settings, > clipboard history settings that allows you to show a warning before deleting an item from clipboard. It is enabled by default, You may disable this option if you don't like it by going into NVDA's settings.
From now on: You will not lose your history again when you update the add-on. There is a new directory outside the addons folder named "clipManager" Which holds the history file. Previously when you update the add-on: It overwrites the history file because the intire directory is being deleted and recreated, This will never happen again.
Updated compatibility with NVDA 2025.
