Microsoft’s Windows Clipboard (The virtual space which stores your ‘cut/copy’ so you can ‘paste’ it), is perhaps one of the most underdeveloped features of Windows. Its ability to only store ONE item at a time has been the bane of many a Windows user who just needed something more than that.
Fortunately, the community has responded and there are quite a number of good tools out there which will extend the functionality of the clipboard. I’ve tried several of these Clipboard managers, but after putting it to the test, Ditto is perhaps one of the most powerful of these such tools.
Among many others, here are some of my favorite features:
- Stores as many copied entries as you want
- Sort those copied items so you can use them later (e.g. Address details)
- Search as you type feature – which allows you to filter through all the items you copied to your clipboard
- Thumbnails for images on clipboard
- Portable and can be run directly from a thumb-drive
Ditto is also open source and completely free :)
I use "Your Clipboard". Its light weight, easy to learn and use,
and saves only the clips you want to save.
