Notepad++ is a complicated notepad application that features advanced plugin support, allowing users to upgrade how it functions and improve its features. Clipboard Helper is an plugin for Notepad++ that improves the copy and paste mechanic, upgrading it with additional options.

Once users enable Clipboard Helper, a small boxed area is formed in the right of the application's window. It provides users with a more advanced clipboard, capable of storing multiple elements that can be accessed individually and pasted from the clipboard whenever it is convenient.

The new clipboard added by Clipboard Helper can store a huge number of different elements, rather than the standard one that is constantly overwritten. Users can select between them by pressing different arrow buttons that are positioned above the window, cycling through everything on the board.

A search feature might a slightly more improved way of searching through the entire clipboard for those users who copy large amounts of different items. The arrow keys can quickly become tedious and irritating, although there is a delete button, allowing users to remove certain elements from the clipboard.

For those who frequently have to copy and paste, as well as copying multiple elements or snippets of code, there is no denying the improved efficiency.
