Shell CLI for Clipboard History Access

One feature that could really enhance the power of PasteApp, especially for developers and power users, is a command-line interface (CLI) that works similarly to pbcopy and pbpaste but with access to the full clipboard history. Proposed CLI Features: - pasteapp list: List recent clipboard entries (e.g., with timestamps, truncated preview). - pasteapp get <index>: Output a specific clipboard item to stdout (like pbpaste). - pasteapp copy < <file> or echo foo | pasteapp add: Add a new entry to history (like pbcopy). - Optional: pasteapp search <keyword> to grep through history entries. Why this matters: - Streamlines workflows for developers, writers, and automation scripts. - Makes PasteApp scriptable and even more powerful on macOS/Linux. - Bridges GUI and terminal usage seamlessly. Would love to see this integrated—happy to provide a sample prototype or help test it!
