Clipboard Revealer

Clipboard Revealer is a simplistic software utility whose only purpose is to show your current Clipboard contents. It may be a useful assistant when you're working on complicated projects and looking for methods to keep track of your tasks.

The installation procedure is a fast and easy job that shouldn't give you any trouble, thanks to the familiar wizard steps.

Once launched, the tool creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area and silently stays there while monitoring your Clipboard contents, an action that automatically begins at program startup.

In order to view you current Clipboard storage, all you have to do is trigger the Win+Alt+C combination on your keyboard. This causes a small dialog box to pop up in the center of the screen, revealing the clip.

Worth noting is that it's only capable of registering text-based contents, such as plain text, URLs, or the full path to a file or folder (when copying a file or folder). In case of unsupported content, such as images, it shows a blank box.

A couple of options are available for this application. By opening the right-click menu of the systray icon, you can pause the monitoring service without having to exit the tool, or temporarily suspend the hotkeys until told otherwise. This later option comes in handy if the Win+Alt+C hotkey has overwritten an existing hotkey for another command. Unfortunately, this key combination cannot be changed using Clipboard Revealer.

Although it hasn't been updated for a long time, we haven't experienced any compatibility issues on newer Windows models. The software product didn't hang, crash or prompt errors. Resources consumption was minimal.

Clipboard Revealer is definitely not feature rich, but it does a good job of showing your current Clipboard text contents.
