nbClipboard

The Windows clipboard is among the most powerful features even though you don’t actually get to see how it looks like. On the other hand, there are various third-party applications you can use to greatly enhance its functionality, and one suitable example is nbClipboard, letting stack or queue text strings.

With the setup process lasting a little while, you get to check out the set of features in no time at all. However, before everything can function properly, you need to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your PC.

The main window shows up on launch, but it doesn’t necessarily have to sit on the desktop, with the possibility to minimize it to the tray area once you’re familiar with how modes process input text. On the other hand, having the main window in plain sight comes in handy if the order in which you need to paste elements is an important aspect.

Sure enough the application can store multiple items in several modes. However, you can’t select which item to paste from the list of stored strings, because these are handled in a specific order, depending on the selected mode.

As such, you need to decide whether to stack new entries on top of old ones, or queue in the list. Stacking makes the last copied item the first to be pasted, while queue works the other way around. On the other hand, you can disable these modes and process text.

A few transformation options are at your disposal. You can have character casing shifted to either lower or upper case, or left unchanged. Moreover, there’s a built-in search and replace tool which pastes new input when the target string is detected, with the option to match casing.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that nbClipboard is a practical application which can boost copy and paste operations for organized lists. The search and replace tool is automated and converts all matching strings. Although there’s no option to select the item you want to paste, it’s sure to be worth your while overall.
