MultiClipboard

MultiClipboard is a super handy tool for anyone who spends a lot of time working with text on their PC. If you’re like most people, you probably use the copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+P) functions a ton, right? But did you know that the Windows Clipboard only keeps your last copied item? That can be a bit of a hassle!

Why Use a Clipboard Manager?

This is where installing a clipboard manager comes in handy! It helps you keep track of everything you've copied, so you're not stuck losing important text when you copy something new. For folks using Notepad++, there’s good news! You can use MultiClipboard as your clipboard history tool without needing to install an entirely new app.

Easy Integration with Notepad++

What’s great about MultiClipboard is that it easily integrates with Notepad++. Since it’s open source and supports plugins, adding it to your setup is a breeze. To get started, just extract the DLL file from the download and drop it into the "plugins" directory of Notepad++. This works no matter if you have the installer or portable version of Notepad++.

How to Use MultiClipboard

Once set up, you can bring up the MultiClipboard viewer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+V. You’ll see it pop up on the left side of your screen, ready to capture everything you copy! To paste clips from this list, just hit Ctrl+Shift+V.

Limitations and Features

Keep in mind that by default, this feature only works within Notepad++. So if you're copying text from other programs, it won't save those clips unless you change some settings. But don’t worry! You can adjust how many clips are stored and even allow copying from other applications if you'd like.

Your Reliable Text Assistant

You can also rearrange clip entries in the list or delete items whenever you want. With its user-friendly options and practical features, MultiClipboard really shines as an assistant for managing and reusing text clips while working in Notepad++. It’s easy to use and makes your workflow smoother!
