What is the crowd's opinion of ClipMenu?

Even better than this, install Clipmenu.

It saves as many clipboard elements as you want, and has a handy shortcut to show your copy-paste history.

It’s a lifesaver.

If you only need it for retrieving old text and images in your clipboard, I really like ClipMenu. Very customisable and lightweight and also provides some advanced functionality for scripting.

A clipboard manager (I use Clipmenu on OS X), which is especially handy if you do a lot of copying and pasting.

Basically, it keeps a history of text or other items copied to the clipboard, so you can copy multiple things in one go—e.g. a quote, a citation/link, and additional text—and paste them individually. You can also set up "snippet" folders of commonly-pasted text for handy access. I use this feature at work for various common strings I have to type, and at home I have a folder of bicycle-safety links and info that comes in handy in my advocacy work.

Something free: A <strong>clipboard manager</strong> for my computer. I wish I had used one in college when I was writing papers or having to copy/paste a lot of varying info.

I now have mine set up with a folder of cycling safety links, as well as a 30-item history. This is extremely helpful when I have to copy quoted sections from an article as well as the URL, so I don't have to go back and forth copying and pasting each item separately. I couldn't operate effectively without a clipboard manager any more.

Yeah, holding shift. But I have this extension I can't live without and it's not compatible. Yeah, maybe I can change the shortcut and maybe I can disable the "smart" quotes altogether, but maybe, MacOS should stop trying to embellish my writing by default.

:D

I may have snaked it from you a while ago...

I use clipmenu to save past-history clipboard copies (for times like these where I'm repeating myself) so I don't have to retype them.

A clipboard manager. I'm not a Windows user, but on OS X ClipMenu is a good free utility.

Basically, it keeps a history of things you've copied to the clipboard, rather than having only one thing in the clipboard as usual. Also, you can set up "snippets" with inks or text you find yourself regularly pasting.

This has been a lifesaver at home and work, as I can copy a relevant section of text, as well as the URL/citation, in one go, rather than having to tab back and forth copying one bit of data at a time, and I don't have to worry about overwriting something I've copied to the clipboard. I wish I had installed it when I was a student.

Something I use all the time now, at home and work, and wished I had used in school, is a clipboard manager (I use Clipmenu). This lets you keep a certain number of clipboard items in memory to copy and paste from, as well as permanent snippets in a folder.

A good usage for this is when writing a paper and copying quotes and citations. Normally you'd have to copy the quote, e.g. from a browser, paste it in your document, go back and copy the citation, then paste it. With a clipboard manager, you can copy both the quote and the citation—as it stores rather than overwriting—then use the clipboard manager shortcut (Option+Command+V on mine) and paste the quote , then the citation. It's also super handy if you have a bunch of different things you want to paste, or you want to access something you copied a while ago.

I like this app but just can't seem to make productive use of it. ClipMenu is still my app of choice just for the option to invoke the clipboard history anywhere and paste wherever with a simple keyboard shortcut (the alfa version 0.4.4 is the one to go with). And I so much wanted to use Paste just for the looks.

A clipboard manager; I use ClipMenu on my Mac at work and at home.

Basically, it caches a certain number of clipboard items in your copy history, which you can then paste at will. This is really handy if you want to copy a bit of text and a link, e.g. a quote from an article as well as the article link, or if you have multiple things you need to copy and paste. Hitting a specific combination (Option+Command+V in my case) brings up a contextual menu with the history and other options.

You can also set "Snippets" or permanent items in folders within that contextual menu, for instance if you have items you're always pasting or hate to have to find. At home, I have a few specific bicycle safety pages in their own folder, which I can paste whenever questions arise within various cycling subreddits or elsewhere.
