CLIP RECORDER

We call it Clip Recorder because it remembers and records the last 10 items copied with ‘⌘ C’. That means each time you copy an item that way, it is remembered and stored in a stack. Each time you copy, that clip is placed at the top of the stack (no. "0"), and previous clips are moved down one place. 

Try it! Open the CopyPaste Palette, click on the Clip Recorder (cassette icon at the bottom) and a second set of 10 clipboards is now visible. Highlight some text, type ⌘ C and you will see it appear as clip 0 of the Clip Recorder; highlight some more text, type ⌘ C again and you will see this new text go into clip 0 and what was in clip 0 move down to clip 1. You can think of it as multiple levels of undo for the last 10 items you copied with ⌘ C. 

Clip Recorder is on all the time by default and is a separate stack from the Clip Extender. If you need something you copied 5 copies ago then you can open the Clip Recorder from the Palette, or you can go to the "Edit" menu, where the Clip Recorder's menu can be found under "Paste". If you have to copy large objects and you wish to save the memory for other things than recorded clips, you can switch off the Clip Recorder in the preferences. It will then stop recording clips immediately (no need to reboot) until you turn it on again. 

Remember: the last 10 items you copied or cut in the past are now accessible thru Clip Recorder. ClipRecorder has your previous version in its stack. You will find Clip Recorder a good friend and a convenient tool.

You can view the clips in the Clip Recorder the same way you can in the Clip Extender. Drag and Drop works, too, and you can even move the clips to the Clip Extender: just drag a clip to clipboard #0, then switch to the Clip Extender view and drag it to any other clipboard.
