| ClipHint 2.1 allows you to modify formatted or unformatted text before you paste it into an application. It displays a hint of the current item in its Taskbar button label. It stores many Clipboard items and restores them upon program start. These items are normally stored in the main history list. However, ClipHint contains a secondary list that can be used for storing frequently-used items. It includes incremental searching, launching, merging and splitting of items. These searches may be typo-insensitive. It has one-step undo and a secondary window called a mini-window. This window stays on top of regular windows and provides an easy way to paste in a sequence of items. ClipHint requires Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.51 or higher. After 30 days-of-use, the fee for continuing to use this shareware product is $10. (Released on 22-March-2009. ) | |
