Field notes
The homepage lays out a keyboard workflow: open the history, search by typing, move through matches, then paste or copy the selected item. It lists support for text, links, paths, and files, and says files are restored as files for use in Explorer. The FAQ flags two limits: Ctrl+Shift+V can conflict with shortcuts in other apps, and Windows blocks automatic pasting into administrator-run apps.
