CLCL

If your daily work includes any variation of text editing, you might be aware of the importance of the clipboard tool. Text processing would quickly become a tedious activity if copy, cut or paste would be non-existent.

Aside from Windows' native clipboard, you can use more advanced utilities, such as CLCL, that provide you with all the basic features, plus a few extra ones.

CLCL comes with a simplistic, yet quite outdated layout that enables you to quickly become familiarized with the application and benefit from all of its functions with a minimum of effort and PC knowledge.

The main window provides you with two sections: one that allows you to choose between standard clipboard, history and template functions and another section that displays your selected clipboard content.

You can copy any type of content and the utility automatically adds it to the clipboard, where you can view it in several ways (Unicode text, locale, plain text and OEM text).

CLCL includes a useful history category that keeps track of all your previous entries, for easier management. Depending on its type, you can choose to view it in various ways, such as Unicode text and drop file list.

It is possible to create template items by simply selecting and adding them to the dedicated folder. You can create new directories, thus increasing organizing efficiency.

Despite it being a simple clipboard tool, CLCL allows you to configure numerous parameters regarding its functionality. You can assign custom hotkeys to each window or change Windows' native copy and paste keyboard shortcuts.

It is possible to modify this program's history-related settings, so that it remembers your content after exiting or prevents certain items from being removed.

Aside from providing a default templates folder, CLCL allows you to create new ones and import or export them to your PC for safe-keeping.

To sum it up, this application can prove to be a reliable asset if you are looking for a clipboard tool that provides you with extended features and you do not mind the simple, traditional interface.
