CopyQ vs HovText

Most effective with stacks that don't automatically delete the oldest members, tags and notes allow you to use CopyQ as a personal database for important information with easy access and retrieval.

CopyQ supports all major Linux desktop environments (including KDE Plasma, GNOME, Xfce, etc.), Windows and MacOS X 10.9+.

Built-in support for text, HTML, images or any other custom formats, allowing for type-based clip stacks that each have their own custom actions (open images in a photo editor, open URLs in a browser, etc.)

Quickly locate that snippet you copied months ago but don't recall precisely what it was.

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.
