Up to 25 items can be stored at once – once you copy in item number 26, it’ll replace item number one on the list, and so on.īy default, pasting from M8 involves double-clicking its Notification area icon, then clicking the item you wish to paste (roll the mouse over it to view a preview of the image or entire text snippet that’s been stored). Each time you copy an item (M8 supports both text and images) into the clipboard you’ll hear a ping, and you can rest assured it’s been added to M8’s list. M8 Free Multi Clipboard doesn’t bother with all of that: launch it from the Start > All Programs menu and it’ll appear in your Notification area. Many of these tools develop over time into powerful – yet complicated – beasties. It doesn't have the power of a full-strength clipboard manager - you can't use it to view thumbnails or previews of the various clipboard slot contents, for instance, or process them in any way - but there's more than enough functionality here to be useful.The biggest drawback of the clipboard is the fact it can only one hold item at a time, which is why there’s a veritable cottage industry of clipboard-replacement tools falling over themselves to allow you to store more than one item in the clipboard at once. MultiClipBoardSlots is a lightweight and convenient tool which makes it much easier to transfer multiple items from one application to another. But if you decide you don't need it, MultiClipBoardSlots can also be disabled or removed entirely in a click or two, returning your system to normal. Other options enable the program to run in the system tray, or hide entirely. The Copy and Paste operations both play a sound to let you know the program is working, but you can turn these off if you prefer. By default the program only enables the first 5 clipboards, but you can turn the others on as required.
There are some settings you might want to tweak right away. Just copy multiple chunks as required, and Alt+Tab to the target application when you've finished. If you're copying text from a browser page, for instance, you no longer need to press Ctrl+C, Alt+Tab to a target application, Ctrl+V to paste, Alt+Tab to switch back. This allows you to transfer multiple objects from one application to another without having to worry about the clipboard being overwritten, or having to switch between applications each time. Select text, images or other objects, and you're able to copy them to one of the clipboards by pressing Ctrl+, or paste from that clipboard with Alt+ (the hotkeys can be reassigned). MultiClipBoardSlots is a tiny tool which can effectively give your PC up to 10 clipboards.
