The software program runs quietly in the background and can only be seen in the task manager or by pressing keyboard shortcuts. The default Windows clipboard can still be used by pressing CTRL V to copy an item to the clipboard and CTRL C to copy it from the clipboard.

CCCCtrlC comes into play if the user presses the same keyboard shortcut for a longer period of time. It will then display a small clipboard selection screen in the lower right part of the computer screen (even if the Windows Taskbar is located elsewhere). The selection will display underscores and Cs. Each position stands for one clipboard entry where entries with an underscore are blank slots while those with a C are slots that are already filled with information.

Pressing and holding CTRL C will then cycle through the slots and save the information in the selected slot once the keys are released. Pressing and holding CTRL V on the other hand will cycle through all slots and paste the information of the active data field once the keys are released.

A few additional hotkeys are available. CTRL Insert X will erase all extended clipboard entries but keep the standard clipboard entry. CTRL CV will display the help file while CTRL Insert V will display a system tray icon that offers the options to suspend the hotkeys, pause the functionality of the software or to exit it.

CCCCtrlC uses less than four Megabytes of computer memory. It is available at the Donation Coders website.

ArcClip is a free Windows clipboard software replacement that remembers the last 50 text items by default that have been copied to the Windows clipboard. The options contain various settings to change that figure and the limitation to only accept text so that non-text items are also accepted and remembered.

The software program will automatically store items that are copied to the Windows clipboard with the means to access them using a hotkey combination (default is [Ctrl Shift Z].

ArsClip has several other advantages over the default clipboard program in Windows. It will by default remember items at the next system startup, provide options to process text that gets copied to the clipboard, to paste all items at once and to store permanent items.

ArsClip uses a very reasonable 6-8 Megabytes of computer memory while running depending on the amount and size of the items currently stored in the Windows Clipboard.

We already covered similar applications like the Windows clipboard manager Xneat in the past.

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.
