![]() In addition to the Mac app, Paste also offers iPhone and iPad apps, which have not been updated today. I don’t use this feature a lot, but it can be useful as a sort of temporary pinboard for some tasks. When you’re ready to paste what you’ve collected in a destination app, use ⌘⇧V, which pastes everything in the Paste Stack in the order you see in its window. Once that window is open, every time you copy something using ⌘C, it will be added to the Paste Stack. It’s activated by default using ⌘⇧C, which opens a small window on your screen. Skipping between pinboards can be accomplished with a keyboard shortcut, and each is represented by its own user-definable name color that makes identifying the source of search results easy.Īnother handy feature if you need to copy items from multiple sources and paste them in a specific order is the Paste Stack. I’ve used them to store snippets of text, PDFs I email to people regularly, and podcast artwork that I also need to access frequently. There’s no set rule on what you can do with pinboards. Paste’s pinboards are collections of saved clipboard items.Īs with earlier versions, Paste 4.0 offers pinboards, which are collections of saved clipboard items that are user defined. This is the part of Paste that I love and where you’ll find one of the biggest changes to version 4.0. When Paste is activated, it slides up from the bottom of your Mac’s screen, dominated by a strip of clipboard items that can be scrolled horizontally. The default keyboard shortcut is ⌘⇧V, a variation of the system-wide Paste command, which makes it easy to remember. To access Paste’s clipboard history, you can click on the app’s menu bar icon, use a launcher app like Raycast, or a keyboard shortcut. However, as the app warns, that option has the potential to use a significant amount of storage. There’s even an option for recording an unlimited history. That clipboard history can be as short as one day or as long as a year. The app keeps track of everything you’ve copied, unless you specify an app’s content that you don’t want to copy. However, it’s the design of the Mac app that makes Paste feel so Apple-like and sets it apart from the myriad other clipboard managers that are available.Īt its core, Paste does what a lot of clipboard managers do. The focus of today’s update is the design of the Mac version app, but it’s also available on the iPhone and iPad. Way back when it was just someone's project on the AHK forums I contributed a couple of fixes to it, before it was so complex.Paste feels like the kind of clipboard manager Apple might make, especially version 4.0, which was released today. ![]() ![]() ![]() The code is pure spaghetti and filled with goto statements and global variables and trying to understand it is a lost cause, but despite that it's almost bug-free and covers all of the corner cases, including copying from zip files, Microsoft Office documents, images, files, etc. While it is written in AutoHotkey and hasn't seen any updates in 8 years, it still works perfectly under Windows 11. And tapping Z strips the text formatting. It's so intuitive that it makes other clipboard managers feel clunky. Tapping X switches actions (Paste, Cancel, Delete, Delete All), and releasing Ctrl commits the action. ![]() Pressing Ctrl+V while holding Ctrl down brings up a tooltip with the current item on the clipboard, and you can move backwards and forwards through the stack by tapping C and V (while still holding Ctrl). The main functions are all accessible with the regular Ctrl and ZXC keys, in the normal flow. Ditto is good but I am partial to the user interface of an AutoHotkey program called ClipJump. ![]()
