When files are copied, Clippy stores the paths to the files as text. This means Clippy can be used to strip unwanted formatting from text. Text pasted from Clippy's popup is always plain text. While writing an email or before refactoring a large piece of code, you can select all the text and copy it, knowing that Clippy has stored the text should it ever be needed in the future. Since the operating system clipboard can only hold a single item, this is a tedious task without Clippy.Ĭlippy can be used simply to keep text safe, just in case it is needed later. It is very common to need to copy and paste a few different items. The stored text items can be easily retrieved by browsing or searching.Ĭlippy is a powerful tool, especially for programmers: It uses a database to store any text items that are copied to the clipboard. Thus, Clippy was born!Ĭlippy is a clipboard history tool for Windows. After some frustration with the latest versions and wishing that search was easier, I finally decided to write my own minimalistic clipboard history tool. I've been using ArsClip for a long time, something like 10 years. I used it while writing this post! If you are a coder, I really think it can make a nice improvement to productivity. I use it extensively while coding, writing emails, etc. My clipboard history is one of my most valuable tools.
