CLCL vs HovText

Hit Ctrl+Shift+V (or any other chosen shortcut) and you have a menu of recent clipboard entries (text, image, etc.). Choose your entry (with preview in tooltip) and it is pasted in your application.

You can copy an entry to your templates, organized in folders.

So you can quickly recall frequently used strings (URLs, signatures, etc.).

Paste a text or an image even after having made several copies after it. Allows to copy several snippets, then to paste them out of order, or in order.

CLCL has template management, allowing to paste frequently used text fragments; it can manipulate the clipboard content; and has a clipboard viewer showing the various clipboard formats.

Plugins allows to support more clipboard formats.

Tools can alter text in clipboard before pasting it.

You can see the various clipboard formats, with hexa dump.

HovText has existed for 20 years and has always been open source.

Copying text from the internet or from Office applications most often will include styles and formatting when pasting, but HovText can remove all this formatting, so only the raw unformatted cleartext will be pasted - this is a life-saver :-)

Most recent entries copied/pasted are available from a top-down principle.

When marking text with the mouse, it often adds a whitespace at the beginning or the end of the text or there are some empty lines above or below that gets copied too, but HovText has an option to remove whitespaces at beginning and end - very useful.

When viewing the list of previous copied clipboards, then it is easy to find the relevant text or image you need.

All hotkeys can be configured and all layout, style and screen display can be tweaked, so there is a chance you can have it setup as you want.

Fast, light, no installation process and no registration needed - just "click and use".

The clipboards can be saved to local computer, so it can be reused after a computer shutdown.
