CLIP EXTENDER

CopyPaste gives you ten clipboards instead of just one! Type the usual keyboard command for copy or cut and then any number between 1 and 9 before releasing the command key. Paste works in the same way. In addition to the normal clipboard you now have nine more.
It's this easy:

    1. select an object (picture, text, sound...),
    2. hold down the command key,
    3. type "C"  (or "X" or "V"),
    4. type a number between 1 and 9,
    5. release the command key.

It's very simple, just the addition of a number to the usual commands gives you 10 clipboards.

In case you've forgotten which clipboard goes with which number or you prefer the mouse to the keyboard, you'll find each clipboard listed in submenus in the "Edit" menu of every application. There you will find that the "Copy", "Paste" and "Cut" commands have new submenus numbered from 0 to 9. Each number may show the first 30 characters of a text clip,  or in the case of non-text •Picture•, •Sound•, or •Movie•. If you type ⌘ C without a number then the standard clipboard will be used (clip number "0") and the clip is also recorded by the Clip Recorder. ⌘ C is the same as ⌘ C 0.

All clipboards are also readily accessible thru the CopyPaste Palette (explained below).
