> 1. visual undo/redo. I don’t want to be surprised when I perform either command. Show me.
I'm having a hard time imagining an implementation of this feature that would be faster than "undo, check what happened, redo if undesired". I can see a need to explore the whole history (JetBrains IDEs have the local history), but what benefit do you see from previewing a single step?
> 2. visual clipboard with history. I don’t want to be surprised when I paste something. Show me. Also let me have more than one item in the clipboard.
CopyQ is a great tool that does just this, available on Linux and Windows. I'm sure there's an equivalent for Mac.
EDIT: also, not to plug JetBrains again, but their IDEs have clipboard history built in within the editor. I have CopyQ for system-wide clipboard history, so I don't bother with it, but it's there.
