The purpose of QuickPaste is to provide rapid access to clips from WITHIN the application where you want to paste (known as the Target Application). Instead of the "pick and paste" method (first go to ClipMate, pick an item, go back to your application, and paste), you can use QuickPaste to simply select a clip, press ENTER, and keep going. You invoke QuickPaste from WITHIN the application where you are working, the data is pasted right at the cursor position, and you are then returned right back where you were.
This is very handy if you are typing – your hands don't have to leave the keyboard, and pasting a clip takes usually only 3-5 keystrokes.
Additionally, you can configure QuickPaste to give you access to two different collections. This is handy if you're currently working in one collection, but need to access data from another one. And QuickPick and ShortCuts help you find the information that you need quickly. And if you have special pasting needs, such as the ability to modify the keys sent to the target application, send TABs, or even other attributes of the clip such as the URL or Title, you can do so with QuickPaste Format Strings.
