CTRL-C, CTRL-V is definitely one of the most used shortcuts in Windows till date. Users needs to copy large or small amounts of data while working in the office environment every few minutes. It's quite useful if you have a lot of apps running and you need to copy and paste some text between them. Although Windows copy/paste mechanism does have certain limitations, it saves only one text string in the clipboard at a time. An alternative methods are clipboard extenders like Flashpaste. It caries most used strings to the internal database and user can insert any saved text into text boxes. The thing that struck me was the way and ease at which it was carrying out its work. Flashpaste puts a small control to the opened document when you can select related text message. The configuration lets you perform a few customizations, like inserting new strings or enabling taskbar icon, setting hotkey and some clipboard-related tasks. So you can see, Flashpaste is useful to me. It has definitely helped increase my productivity in day-to-day tasks. I have found it to be unique, very stable, and unmatched in this category. |
