If your line of work requires you to copy and paste many different
and sometimes duplicated items, you’ll know that the Windows clipboard
only holds one ‘copy’ at a time. If you ever wanted to be able to
copy and paste multiple sentences, then you should try this advanced clipboard manager called
Clipomatic.
If you use
Windows keyboard shortcuts all the time, then you should know that
Ctrl +
C is for copy and
Ctrl +
V is for paste – and you can only paste the last item that you copied.
With Clipomatic, you can
paste what you’ve copied 10 times ago by pushing
Ctrl +
Alt +
V (or a custom combination), then selecting one of your last 10 (or more) copies.
Start Using Clipomatic
Go ahead and download Clipomatic from this
website.
You’ll have a ZIP file with a single installer file inside. It is
important to extract the installer. Right-click on the installer, click
on Run As Administrator and go through the installation process.
Note: You might need to restart your computer to get it running.
You’ll know its running when you have the Clipomatic taskbar icon
located on the bottom right corner where you can find more customizable
options.
In the settings, you can customize the ‘Paste Key’ and number of
copies to keep by changing the number of ‘Cache Items’. Instead of
clicking to launch the program every time your computer starts up, you
can choose to
Load on Startup. As for other settings available, you do not need to change anything as it works fine on the default settings.
Clipomatic works with other text editing programs. However, try to
select a Paste Key which is not a default keyboard shortcut of the program you’re using.
Copy And Paste More, Faster
Once you’ve assigned your Paste Key, you can begin
copying multiple words or sentences. To paste, press your assigned Paste Key and a menu will pop up, showing you a list of things you have copied.
You can
click on one of the copies or
press a number on your keyboard to paste the corresponding sentence.
Permanent Copies
You have the option of setting
permanent copies that will always be shown in the menu. You edit this list by Right Clicking on the Clipomatic taskbar icon and going to
Clipset Editor.
A new window will open. Make sure
permanent.clipset is selected; you choose this by pressing the browse button (square button on top right) to browse for it.
Right click anywhere in the white box in Clipset Editor and select
New. Another ‘Item’ window will appear where you can input a word or sentence that you want
permanently in your clipboard. Click
OK and add more items. Close the Clipset Editor when you’re done.
Now, when you press your Paste Key, you’ll be able to paste whatever you have added into the permanent clipset.
If you’re looking for a powerful and customizable clipboard manager,
Clipomatic is a small and easy to use program that makes your Copying
and Pasting process easier and faster.
