SuperClip

When it comes to copying items from one location to the other, the clipboard is sure to provide sufficient ease. However, it can only store one entry per operation, with no default options to change this. This is exactly where SuperClip comes in handy, allowing you to save more entries in custom groups.

It comes in a pretty lightweight package, and doesn’t even require you to go through a setup process to make it work. What is required is for .NET Framework to be on the computer you plan to use it on, because it’s a mandatory functionality app. You can carry it on a thumb drive to have this clipboard extender wherever you go.

On launch, the application minimizes to the tray area, with a new icon letting you know it’s there. A window also shows up on your desktop, and you need to work with it in order to configure entries. Unfortunately, there’s no hotkey command to instantly bring it up from the tray area in case you want to switch clipboard content.

There’s quite a lot of unused space, unless you decide to store rich text content. Every entry is stored in an individual tab, but these need to be manually created, and assigned a name. Multiple tabs can be created, but if it gets too crowded, you need to work your way around this, because there’s no list to quickly view, or access them.

Unfortunately, the application only functions one way, in the sense that clipboard content is not read, but only filled with existing values. All tabs and entries need to be manually created, and the main window brought up to select the text string you want to paste.

On an ending note, SuperClip comes with good intentions, but without the possibility to read clipboard content and automatically save it, practicality has a lot to suffer. It’s flexible enough since you can carry it around on a thumb drive, but it takes too long to select an entry of interest, which you also need to create yourself.
