Also worth checking out is Ditto, clipboard history manager. Much snappier and lighter than the built-in one they eventually put into Windows. Nearly identical to KDE's Klipper, CTRL ` and your searchable clipboard history appears next to your cursor.


There was a software called 3dclip, which is essentially Ditto, but much more lightweight. I think it uses native windows elements and written without use of big libraries.

Unfortunately it's discontinued and website isn't available anymore, but I have installer for anyone who is interested (it's not modified or anything). It doesn't have history search, but if all you want is a multiclipboard, it does that, and some other useful things as well. I use it for many years and happy with it.

Tried Ditto but it's too big and slow for my taste.

UPD: I was wrong, site is still up.

Love that app. The built in one does not show tons of stuff you can copy to your clipboard.

I work in IT and people are baffled when I copy a few things, paste them one by one, then search for a thing I copied a week ago…I feel naked without Ditto.

Ditto also supports searching through your clipboard history. Been using Ditto for years.


It's really a killer utility. I find it to be slightly better than KDE's Klipper and much better than Butler as a clipboard in OS X (although it's been many years since I've used Butler)
