Description

First of all, thanks for creating Maccy and all the work that has been put in so far.

My request is the following. I'd like to be able to copy many individual items to the clipboard history, invoke Maccy, select multiple items and paste them. I imagine all the items would be pasted in one go, joined by \n or something similar.

This is handy in situations, in which the source is spread over multiple places, e.g. distinct address fields (Street, Zip, City, etc.) that need to pasted as one element later.

Research direction
Investigate Maccy's existing UI for single item selection and explore how to extend it to support multiple selection and batch paste/delete. Look at the clipboard history data model to understand how items are stored and retrieved.
