I could not live without a copy and paste – it is a core for my way to write and work – but when you think about it is a very abstract feature. Copy something and it goes away… somewhere. Then you can paste it. Oh, and if you copy the other thing, then the first thing is gone.
This is a problem solved by clipboard managers. These applications review you everything recently copied and even select an old item to paste it. They work well, but generally require a lot of reference switching. What if you want to copy many things and then paste them later, all order you copy them, without opening the clipboard manager and choosing an item in the order? An independent and open source for him is Mac Tool: Batch clipboard (What I found McMenubber,
This application is not a clipboard manager – in fact, it can be easily used with one. With application running, you can copy text, image or files using keyboard shortcuts CMD-control C To start construction of a batch. When you are ready, you can paste them, starting at the beginning of a batch at a time, using the keyboard shortcut CMD-control-VYou can click on the menu bar icon at any time to see the current batch.
It takes a second to wrap your head around, but is quite useful in some contexts. If, for example, you are reading a document and want to collect some quotes, you can copy each in your batch and they can paste them all on their notes in the sequence, when you go, take time to add a little reference. This allows you to focus on reading instead of constantly switching back and forth between the source document and your notes.
What do you think so far?

It is easy to start. After downloading the app, you can launch it to read Quick Start Guide – it will talk to you using the application and ask you to enable permissions. You can use the settings by clicking on the menu bar icon and clicking “Settings”. You can customize the keyboard shortcut, deciding that the application starts when your computer does, and how many history items appear in the menu. You can also choose for the application to ignore copied items from special applications.
In theory, you can use the batch clipboard as an alternative to the clipboard manager – click on the time menu bar icon. Option The key and you can review everything recently copied. You can also use it with a dedicated clipboard manager, or open it when you want to use batch copy facility. See whether the clipboard managers have never clicked with you.
