Organization

Organization

CyberPaste provides organization tools to manage your clipboard history: folders, pinning, bulk management, and flexible sorting.

Folders

Creating Folders

  1. Click the New Folder button in the sidebar or folder bar
  2. Enter a folder name
  3. The folder appears in the folder list

Managing Folders

Action Description
Rename Folder context menu → Rename
Delete Folder context menu → Delete
Reorder Drag folders within the list (drop before/after another folder)

Assigning Clips to Folders

  • Drag & drop — Drag clips onto a folder
  • Context menu — Right-click clip → Move to folder
  • Bulk move — Select multiple clips → Move to folder

Folder Navigation

  • Click a folder to filter clips to that folder
  • Main Clipboard shows everything regardless of folder
  • Folder counts show number of clips per folder

Pinning Clips

Pinned clips stay at the top of the list for quick access:

  • Press Ctrl+P to pin/unpin the selected clip
  • Right-click clip → Pin/Unpin
  • Pinned clips show a pin badge
  • The newest clip cannot be pinned (it is already at the top)

Pin Behavior

  • Pinned clips always appear first in the list
  • Pinned clips are never auto-deleted by retention limits
  • Sort order: pinned clips first, then the rest by recency
  • Move to top in Main Clipboard with an unpinned clip also copies it back to the live clipboard

ℹ️ CyberPaste does not have a separate "favorites" feature; pinning is the way to keep clips at hand.

Sorting

Default Sort

Clips are sorted by an explicit order (top to bottom), falling back to capture time (newest first).

With Pinned Clips

Pinned clips always appear at the top, then the rest by recency.

Folder View

Within a folder, clips are sorted by the same rules.
