Please implement this feature. It is so useful - other document writing tools like Notable handles it very well.

This feature is essential me to switch onto Appflowy permanently.

@cr0ssmind do you mean just using right click to copy to the clipboard then pasting directly into AppFlowy?

@rileyhawk1417 Yes, and/or with other screenshotting tools, like under Windows with simple PrintScreen or "Windows+Shift+S" screen slicing.

@cr0ssmind there's a plugin that's being worked on, that allows you to add images from your computer though it does not support clipboard functionality yet.

As for windows there is an issue on the Flutter repo about the windows clipboard history
