Clipboard History : Autopin? Storage limitations?

Hello!

While Clipboard History is a massive win in the general landscape of W11's UI, I still miss a couple of features, some of which could perhaps be implemented through regedit, powershell or batch (all tools I suck at).

I wish, in order of importance:

  • ALL clipboard history were autopinned by default for reuse after startup, in the same way that notepad actually SAVES STUFF until you tell it not to. What is true for the notepad (re-usability is a nice thing, not having to remember whether you saved something and when was your last restart), is doubly so of a clipboard history.
  • I should be able to change the order of pinned items in clipboard history, ideally.
  • Tabs or folders would be welcome.

I realize the second point is not the most crucial, while the last could probably be better managed by some 3rd-party dedicated app. But I'm pretty sure an autosave toggle switch allowing for a notepad-like of copy-and-forget retention would be fairly easy to implement, and it would be greatly appreciated on my end of things.

To the best of your knowledge, is there a way to obtain such an effect toying with Windows' power tools?
