to clipboard
COMMENT
DISCLAIMER:
This shortcut does save any information that you allow it to see in a text file on iCloud. This shortcut does not save everything you copy; it does save the very last thing you copied if you run the shortcut. BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU COPY BEFORE USING THIS SHORTCUT. If you copied something that you do not want saved to a text file, then PLEASE run the Clip History shortcut and select “Clear History”.
I’m not sure about the privacy implications of saving your clipboard to a text file, but you have been warned.
SETUP:
1) Run this shortcut first otherwise Clip History will result in an error.
2) This shortcut requires iOS 17.
3) Adding both shortcuts to your homescreen or control center (iOS 18) is suggested for better utilization.
4) If you are using this shortcut on iPadOS with an external keyboard or MacOS, I’d reccommend adding this as cmd+shift+C, or another keyboard shortcut.
Hopefully you find this as useful as I do,
- Brandon

The number below (default = 10) is a history limit number. You can change this how you wish. The history limit automatically clears your Clip History if it gets too large.

The repeat action below is to reduce shortcut runtime for long clippings. And this keeps the order while filtering out empty lines.
