The Windows clipboard is a feature without which computer use becomes pretty complicated. It can only store one item though, but this can be changed by installing one of many dedicated applications. For instance, ClipHint not only lets you keep a record of copied items, but also modify text before pasting it.

Can be used on the go

On the one hand, the application doesn’t take any of your time, or effort to take you through a setup process, and is good to go as soon as you download it. Apart from comfort, flexibility is another perk, since you can carry it on a USB flash drive to use it on other computers besides your own, with no worries about affecting stability on the target system.

The application starts to monitor your clipboard from the start, already grabbing anything inside, given it’s text. You need to keep the main window up at all times, and it would have used an option to minimize to the tray area.

Modify text before pasting it

Split into two panels, one of them shows the current item you wish to edit, while the second is the history tracker. You’re free to modify any entry as you see fit, including text customization options like font style, type, size, attributes, and color, but with no preview included for other properties than plain formatting.

Any entry you select from history automatically gets sent to the clipboard to easily paste where needed. Moreover, the list can be manipulated to your advantage through options to merge at least two entries, slit one containing multiple lines, and even set markers to instantly come back to a specific item.

To sum it up

On an ending note, ClipHint provides the options, and necessary tools to further edit, or clean text before pasting it in the required document. Although you need to keep it on the desktop most of the times, it’s window is compact, and can be easily managed by individuals of all levels of experience.

ClipHint 2.1 Description:

The ClipHint application was designed to help you modify formatted or unformatted text before you paste it into an application. It displays a hint of the current item in its Taskbar button label.

It stores many Clipboard items and restores them upon program start. These items are normally stored in the main history list. However, ClipHint contains a secondary list that can be used for storing frequently-used items. It includes incremental searching, launching, merging and splitting of items.

These searches may be typo-insensitive. It has one-step undo and a secondary window called a mini-window. This window stays on top of other windows and provides an easy way to paste in a sequence of items.
