Coding Horror: Improving the Clipboard

“In this era of 3ghz processors, 1gb memory, and 500gb hard drives, why is the Windows clipboard only capable of holding a single item?”

[via Jeff Atwood]

Good question. clcl is a sweet little app. Added to my arsenal of cool little utilities. Throw it in your startup items folder, or anywhere else (it’s portable).

I love apps like this.

Also, someone recently recommended clipx:

I just tried it and it's just as lightweight as CLCL and arguably superior. I even like its default accelerator a bit better, CTRL+SHIFT+V. Definitely worth looking at!

Good stuff Omar, :)

I do email support...

and CLCL as well as the 'ctrl'+'space' shortcut to remove formatting have been a big help.

Any other tips or cool apps....?

Thanks,

Aldo
