Working with clipboard manager
Clipboard manager automatically monitors the clipboard for any changes and saves them in the clipboard history.
All data are automatically saved to the hard drive. You can specify the number of fragments to be saved to keep the impact on your computer’s performance to a minimum. By default, 500 fragments are saved.
Clipboard manager supports all known data formats.
By default, the Win+Ins keyboard shortcut opens the clipboard manager window.
The following information is displayed for each saved fragment:
| • | Brief fragment contents: a text or an image. |
| • | The icon of the fragment’s format as defined in your system. |
| • | The icon of the application from which the fragment was copied to the clipboard. |
| • | Additional brief information for each fragment according to its format. |
| • | The list of all formats the fragment can be used in. |
You can select several fragments in the clipboard manager by pressing and holding Ctrl or Shift key. To paste the selected fragments into the current application, press Enter or Ins key.
All data are copied to the clipboard in several formats at once, so you can select the format that you want to use. To paste the currently selected fragment in a certain format, select that format in the Paste as list or press the shortcut key (0 ... 9). For instance, you can paste RTF text in the Plain Text format.
See the Clipboard Manager section for the clipboard manager settings.
