#COPYPASTE PRO MAC#

Most clipboard utilities do not set a limit nor do they allow individual items to be deleted (they do bulk deletions instead). I have mine set to 100 since I rarely save pictures but I do a lot of copy/paste work. Since every item does take up computer space, especially pictures, it is advisable to set a limit to the size of this folder. This number can be easily changed to a larger number (e.g., 50, 100, etc.), which may better satisfy your needs. This means that the History will display the 20 most recent clips. Twenty items is the default setting in the Preferences for the Clip History. From here you can select any clip to paste. When you look at it, the first entry is the most recent clip added. I strongly suggest you play around with all these options and pick the ones that work best for you.ĬopyPaste has two ways of storing the data. I prefer having only the menu bar active, as well as the hotkeys, but this is only my predilection. Each of these can be turned on or off, depending on your liking, from the application’s preferences. You can use the menu bar, the application’s dock icon, hotkeys, or special individual desktop icons to pick which item you need to paste. In the following paragraphs, I will attempt to explain some of the advantages that CopyPaste has over the others.ĬopyPaste provides numerous ways to access the saved history. You will then have the ability to paste any recent clipboard item (text, picture, etc.) back into your document. Once installed, anything that you copy or cut will automatically be saved. All of these applications save items to the clipboard, allowing you to move more data around in less time. It is not the only such type of application out there but, after having reviewed some others, I find it has the best functions and options. Read on to find out what you might be missing out on and why I consider this an essential function.ĬopyPaste is best described as a multiple clipboard utility that allows you to save, display, archive, and edit items found in the clipboard. Its longevity is a testimony to its usefulness.

It has been around for over twenty years, evolving with the ever-changing Mac OS.

One of the first examples of this type of application was CopyPaste. It is a time-saver, and at times, a lifesaver.

I consider having this function an essential part of my computer. I am constantly checking back to the history for something that I had previously copied. I am amazed that Apple has yet to make this part of their OS. I have been using copy/paste history and archives provided by third-party applications for as long as I can remember. As soon as you copy a new item, the previous one is written over. Unfortunately, the way Apple has it configured, only one item resides in the clipboard at a time. Probably the most used command on your computer is copy and paste to and from the clipboard.
