Research direction

The payload names no files, tests or entry points, so begin by finding where the keyboard's existing clipboard feature is implemented in the FossifyOrg/Keyboard Kotlin codebase. Work out how clipboard entries are stored and shown, and how a tapped entry is committed to the input field. Done means copied images appear as previews and tapping one inserts that image. Expect design questions about image handling and Android's content APIs; check with maintainers before starting.

Feature description

Image preview of the copied images in clipboard, when clicked it would paste said image

Why do you want this feature?

Since every past Android keyboard that I've used has an image clipboard feature (like Swiftkey and Gboard), I would like to see one on this keyboard too. I've been more privacy focused these last months and It's really saddening when I first used this that it doesn't have this feature, and it is a feature I had used everyday, and would guess for others
