clipboard history button

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hi could you please include a clipboard history button so that you have an alternative to "Windows key + v". I don't use the feature regularly because I keep forgetting about it! A button would make it really convenient, especially with advanced paste!

Also while you are able to "always on top" the advance paste menu, you are not able to keep clipboard history open over other windows. I'm not sure if this could be changed to allow "always on top".

The ideal would be to combine the two menus into one (see the picture below), but if that's not feasible the clipboard history button would be awesome!

Thank you so much guys. As someone who has been exclusively a user (this is my first time using Github), we all appreciate your hard work and amazing features. There are a lot of us who haven't engaged but really benefit from and admire the work.

Scenario when this would be used?

This would be great for writing papers where you need paste all the references you've gathered.

Does the Clipboard history button at the bottom of Advanced Paste solve your need? Or are you looking for further functionality? /needinfo

Thanks for following up!

1. The clipboard history in advance paste is great, but it's missing extra features found in the clipboard history like punctuation and gifs (please see the two images below). I was wondering if it was possible to consolidate the different tabs/features of the native clipboard history within advance paste (maybe by retaining the current presentation as the home tab but including the extra tabs as well). This is a minor feature but it would be absolutely amazing. In hindsight, I use the native clipboard history primarily for the symbols/punctuation or if I need to sync a copy between devices (which could be another feature lol) and advance paste for actual copy and pasting.

2. Would it be possible to add advance paste to the quick access menu please (see pic 3)

3. TLDR: - I'd love to have a button in the pt quick access menu that opens advance paste as it currently exists, but add tabs below the search bar to add the functionality of clipboard history. The end result is a single utility with the current functionality of Advance Paste, and the added tabs and syncing functionality of Clipboard History, with easy UI access from the taskbar. See images 4 and 5 for crude concept art.

4. Thank you for hearing out my niche workflow optimization request!!

Perhaps include an option to show the clipboard history button in the System Tray. This would provide easy access to the feature without the need to memorize a shortcut.
