Cursor pop-under dialogue like PasteBot #85

When using PasteBot I find it is incredibly and irreplaceably useful (especially critical/essential when using multiple monitors) to have the pop-under dialogue that PasteBot offers. Is there a way to do this in PastePal? If not, could you please implement it?

It is simply an irreplaceable feature and I have bound command-shift-v to this functionality to always give me quick and direct access to any content I need to paste.

An example of this is how this appears directly under the cursor when activated in this screenshot:

@ylluminate Hi, thanks for reaching out.

For now you can use Movable Popup mode in side window, it will appear where your mouse is

I see, thanks! That might work for the time being. It's definitely not what I feel would be optimal, but it does get to a usable point. 💛

Very much looking forward to how you move past the "for now" part! I think this could be iterated on further and refined for sure.

Sure, so I personally like the PasteBot resizeable presentation methodology. You can resize the popup window horizontally and vertically and it retains memory of this size. I also like to be able to see things in this more horizontal layout vs what I'll call an image-centric view that is currently presented by PastePal. Information density for a popup window, in my opinion, is key. The handy search is also quite useful as you can see. Here's an example with my thoughts - please tell me if you think this is reasonable / makes sense:

@onmyway133 just a friendly ping to ensure you saw my last addition. Sometimes I know its easy to get lost in the minutia of management, especially in software dev work.

@ylluminate thanks for the elaboration. I've noted this, I can't promise to go fully with the above idea
