For years CopyPaste has provided an incredibly useful function for Mac users: providing 10 clipboards instead of the single one that the Mac OS provides. In doing so, you can now have multiple graphics, blocks of text, or anything else that can be copied/pasted at your finger tips. Along the way CopyPaste has also received various other features making it even more of a must-have utility than it already is.
You assign items to a clipboard using the standard command-C (copy) but with the added element of a number key. Command-C-1, for example, will place the selected item in the first clipboard. Command-C-2 will place it in the second, etc. Likewise, you paste the information from the clipboard in a similar fashion; command-V-1 recalls the information from the first clipboard while command-V-2 recalls it from the second, up to command-V-0 which recalls the tenth clipboard.
CopyPaste has other useful features including a ClipViewer which lets you view the contents of all your clipboards from a small, convenient window (keeping track of all ten clipboards can sometimes be tricky). It even provides its own built-in Application Switcher for those of you who aren't using Mac OS 8.5 or a third party utility designed to do the same. It's not nearly as robust an Application Switcher as our favorite, PowerSwitch, but it does allow you to quickly quit or hide an application from the popup window, among other things.
CopyPaste is a wonderfully written piece of shareware with an extraordinarily broad user base. Anyone who finds themselves using the Copy/Paste command multiple times a day will love the convenience and added features that CopyPaste brings to the table.
