Windows Clipboard Manager

The xNeat Clipboard Manager is already the second Windows Clipboard Manager on review at Ghacks. Clipomatic was a memory efficient software that did the job just fine but was a little bit stuck in the last century which should not be that of a problem for a clipboard manager because the interface should not get in the way of the copy and pasting process anyway.

The xNeat Clipboard Manager comes with a shiny modern looking interface with neat looking rounded buttons but basically provides the same functionality than Clipomatic. It stores additional entries in the clipboard, the default value is ten just like the value that Clipomatic uses. This value can be changed in the program’s options which are available in the main interface.

The original functionality remains the same meaning that users can still copy and paste one item with the usual CTRL C and CTRL V shortcuts. The additional clipboard entries can be opened with CTRL Shift V which will open a small menu displaying the latest entries to the clipboard.

The user can use the arrow keys and enter to select on entry that should be pasted or use the mouse to select one. It is rather surprisingly that this Clipboard Manager is only using about 1.5 Megabytes of computer memory when the interface window is open and only 300 Kilobytes when it is minimized in the system tray.
