PopCopy 2 Clipboard Manager Gives The Hotkey Extreme Power

I’ve used many clipboard managers for the Mac from iClip to PopCopy. The latter is the one I stuck with. It was simple, out of the way, and quick.

The good folks at PopCopy have just updated its wonderful software and now have added an extremely useful feature, Hotkey. “Hotkey?” you ask. Yes, hot keys are nothing new and yes they’ve been around for some time; however, PopCopy’s unique use of its Hotkey makes it powerful and - gasp! - useful.

With most hotkey programs, you’re just stuck with what’s in the clipboard and unable to scan its contents. PopCopy went and took the Apple+Tab key combo concept and added it to its feature set for its hotkey. When you depress the hotkey combo (Shift+Apple+V), you’ll see three small windows in the middle of your screen that display your three most recent captures. Text, image, or objects in the finder (such as a Word document) are all shown if in the queue. Keep cycling through the hotkey combo and older captures appear. When you’ve found the clip you need (in the middle window), let go of the hotkeys and simply paste. That’s it. How useful is that?

Further improvements include full preview in the dropdown menu and it’s now fully Office compatible. No more issues with that sneaky Microsoft stuff. Catch PopCopy’s movie for full details on the new and improved PopCopy 2.

For a mere $14 (or ¥1605 for those in Japan), you really can’t find a more useful and now powerful clipboard manager.
