ClipCube, Stores Clipboard Text For Later Use

One of the disadvantages of the built-in Windows Clipboard is that it can only store one record at a time so that it is not possible to access previously stored items again. A history, and the ability to save multiple items would be a godsend for many users. For now, third party tools are the only option to add that functionality to the Windows operating system.

ClipCube is a lightweight portable clipboard manager for Windows that can store clipboard text for later usage. It basically saves all text clipboard entries and makes them available in its interface.

The program sits quietly in the Windows system tray for most of them time. A click on the program icon opens the program window showing all entries with the latest additions at the top of the application window.

The program goes back into hiding once another window is activated, a click on the “on top” icon in the header prevents this. Items stored in the program can be copied with the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-C after selecting them or by right-clicking and selecting the option from the context menu.

Internet addresses are recognized as well and it is possible to open the sites with a right-click and the selection of Go to Address. Timestamps are supported as well as grid lines and fixed width fonts for better readability.

Individual items or all items can be deleted either from the context menu in the program window, or the system tray right-click context menu. Here it is possible to delete all entries, select the retention of saved Clipboard items (indefinitely, until exit, for a week or month) and configure the program to launch on Windows startup.

ClipCube is a handy Clipboard history program. It is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Windows operating system. (via)
