CopyCopyPastePaste

How does it work?

Try this:

Select hello, hit CTRL+C
Select yeah, hit CTRL+C
Do CTRL+V: as usual you'll get "yeah" pasted
Do CTRL+<: you'll get the previous text in clipboard pasted, i.e. "hello"!

That's it, now you have 2 copy/paste buffers!

Download the exe

Here is copycopypastepaste.exe, the 23 KB portable executable.

Why another clipboard manager?

There are already lots of great clipboard managers. But when trying the open-source software Ditto (15 MB package, 39 MB uncompressed, 179 MB source code package, oops!), I wanted to do a more minimalist tool that does just one single task.

How to compile

After having installed FreeBasic (install package, 11 MB), you can compile with:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeBASIC\fbc.exe" copycopypastepaste.bas -s gui copycopypastepaste.rc

New features?

This tool is intended to be minimalist and no new features would be added soon. As the code is very simple and MIT licensed, feel free to fork it and add new features.

Tip: launching the app with copycopypastepaste -n starts it with no icon at all.
