The Hub [1] is a good source of inspiration if you're curious :)

> cycle between your clipboard
I'm not sure what you mean but if you want really nice clipboard management, with great UX, CLI and scripting capabilities, check out CopyQ[1]. Have been using it for a year and love it.
I have previously enjoyed CopyQ. However, now I use a more minimal setup that uses rofi. By cycling through I meant this - I paste something from clipboard using a keybind, and then trigger keybind that erases the pasted thing and inserts the previous element from the clipboard and so on.

I have a lot of long strings I type at work (like paths I cd to often, urls, etc). I've abbreviated most of them to 3-4 letters with Espanso. I've tried using some of the fancy form building stuff but it seemed a bit rough still (although I'm still on 0.7.3)
One of my most common workflow is I copy the name of a "resource" and have to type out some diagnostic queries.
So I have espanso trigger on a shortcut and autofill queries with the clipboard being used as a placeholder.
Also, is there any package that lets you cycle between your clipboard as you type anywhere?
