Add menu bar mode for always-available global shortcut #18

Description

Description

ClipKit's global shortcut (default ⌘⇧V) only works while the app is running. Users expect Windows-like behavior where a shortcut can summon the clipboard manager anytime.

Proposed Solution

Add a menu bar mode where ClipKit:

  • Displays an icon in the menu bar
  • Runs as a background agent (no Dock icon)
  • Is always available via global shortcut
  • Can be accessed via menu bar click as well

Current Workaround

Enable "Launch at Login" in Settings → General. This keeps ClipKit running so the global shortcut is always available.

References

This is the standard approach for clipboard managers like Paste, Maccy, Copyless, etc.
