Post Description

Hi HN, We've been building Paste, a clipboard manager for Mac and iOS, for over 10 years. We keep making it more powerful, and the latest addition is about transforming how people navigate their clipboard. We just shipped Jump to History. Right-click any search result and choose Show in Clipboard, or press Cmd+G on macOS. It jumps you directly to that item in Clipboard History or a Pinboard, with everything around it still in place.

The feedback pattern that drove this was consistent: people weren't just looking for an item, they were looking for a session.
