I often find myself copying large chunks of text and/or images to the clipboard, then switching to another application to paste the data back in. This can be a real chore with the standard Windows clipboard, switching backwards and forwards between applications.

This is where ClipX comes in. ClipX is a free clipboard monitoring tool which allows you to copy a number of items into the clipboard at once. Once stored, with just a few key presses (by default Ctrl-Shift-Insert) you’ll see a list of all stored items (both text and graphics) on screen and can paste any one of them into the current document.

This is a terrific time saver for things such as web page development. I’m using it now to copy sections of text and graphics to include in this page.

There are numerous options available, such as the ability to save the clipboard history across sessions, saving the clipboard history, so you could load it back up at some later stage - handy for repetitive entries, history cleaning etc.

This is one of those great little applications that makes you wonder how you ever coped without it once you’ve used it for a while.
