Array process actions are performed on both %Clipboard Array() and %ClipAbrev().Apple Scripts & Shell Scripts in the webview Therefore, each time we save a clip I want to remove duplicate entries (A4, A5) and remove empty spaces (A6, A7). This means that when we pick a clipboard from our side menu, it will collect the new value and assign it as a duplicate to the menu. The array will collect all the clipboards. Now that we have the clipboard collection ready we have to clean up the mess.

To shorten the clipboard, use (A1) Variable Selection and limit numbers of characters to 6 (make sure that Adapt to Fit is checked) and store that value in the local %abrev variable which is used to populate the (A3) Array Push action. Because I don’t want the entire text to be visible on the side menu, I created another array %ClipAbrev() (A3) that will store the first X letters of the clipboard. Our clipboard content is stored in the %ClipboardArray(). Each time a new clipboard is saved, an Array Push (A2) action moves it to the 1st position of the array. Obviously, the variables used in that WebScreen will be different, but the layout is pretty much the same. I liked how the side launcher looked so there was no point in reinventing the wheel. The layout has been ‘borrowed’ from Joao’s tutorial.

This will terminate the WebScreen and swipe recognition. This time use the Display Mode to set the ‘ close‘ action. Add an exit task and create another WebScreens action. We need to disable the gesture when it’s not needed. I have the Gravity set to Bottom Right while the Width is 10 and Height is set to ‘ fill‘. Set up the Window settings to your preference. In the AutoTools WebScreen option import a Screen preset (swipe) and remove all commands but ‘ left‘ in the commands section of the setup page. This task will enable the WebScreen swipe in the Tasker Project – Clipboard manager. Select the applications you want to enable in the context then create a Task called Launch Menu.

For this project, I’m using AutoTools WebScreens action so make sure you have the plugin installed. But by using Join, then you can also share selected clips from my project with your other devices. If you are using the Join application, this project should not interfere with it. Bear in mind, though, that the collection of the clips occurs in the background anytime you make changes to the current stored clip. In the video down below, you can see me linking the clipboard menu to only the Google+ and Pages Manager applications.

To mitigate potential performance issues, I’ve set up the Tasker Clipboard Manager project to have a very small footprint on your phone’s memory as the profile can be limited to work with certain applications only. While you could have a floating action button (FAB) to pull up the clipboard, I prefer using a swipe gesture instead.
