ClipboardMachinery

If you find yourself often copying and pasting items in quick succession, a clipboard manager can help you not only be more precise, but also lend you quicker access to your clipboard entries. Windows does offer such a feature, but it requires toggling the Clipboard history option. It’s not a bad implementation by any means, but some users may be better off looking for dedicated third-party offerings.

ClipboardMachinery is really quite the name for a clipboard manager. By virtue of being easy to maneuver, the tool affords you quick access to your clipboard entries, lets you tag them, and even execute certain content as a batch script.

As would be expected of a clipboard manager, the program will keep track of your clipboard history for you. Don’t forget, the program must be running for the clipboard logging to work, so ensure that before anything else.

Anything you copy will be logged on the interface, which can be accessed anytime via the Ctrl+H hotkey. As more and more entries are added, the interface may occupy more screen space, which can make it cumbersome to use in some situations. Both text and images will be logged, so if you copy any image to your clipboard, it’ll show up too.

Tagging any clipboard item on the interface is another possibility. The program comes with a few default tags that you can use to specify an entry’s category, date created, and source. But you can also create your own tags and assign priority levels for each. Once favorited, important clipboard entries can be more conveniently accessed.

It should also be noted that you can execute an entry as a batch script via the program. I found this quite interesting, as copied commands can essentially be executed through Command Line directly on the program’s interface.

ClipboardMachinery is quite a polished piece of software. It worked well during my testing, and I didn’t really have any problems with it. A new search feature is reportedly coming soon, so it’s all looking very promising indeed.
