I believe the current icon for the "Clear clipboard" button was changed from the original HeliBoard project with the intent of being more logical, but I find both to be confusing. This new icon can be mistaken for some sort of sorting capability. I would suggest replacing it with the empty bin icon, which leaves no room for interpretation. It's something I've already done with the settings, of course, but I believe this should be the default.
Also, just like in HeliBoard, if you happen to click the button by accident, your history is gone. Ideally, there would be some sort of confirmation for the action, but I know this requires some UI overlay and I don't know if you have one available to use. An alternative would be to only trigger the action on a long press. You could consider complementing that with a toast message on a single press, something like:
"Long press the icon to clear the clipboard"
P.S.: I know I could have submitted this suggestion in HeliBoard's repo, but I noticed that this project already has some QoL improvements over HeliBoard when it comes to things like the clipboard history. Plus, I have more confidence in this project's development so far, and wish its success! Thank you!
