You can click the search icon top left, but you don’t need to: you can simply start typing and the search-box appears. If you want to go further back in time, searching is quicker than scrolling. It also shows large thumbnails of photos. This makes it really easy to visually identify the item you want. As you’d expect, double-finger swiping is used to scroll the list.Įach item is color-coded by app, with the app icon used to help identify it. Hit your keyboard shortcut and it opens a screen with a huge preview of the most-recently copied item, together with large, scrollable previews of earlier items. Once you have your preferences set, using it couldn’t be easier. You can manually add additional apps to the exclusions list. Paste appears security-conscious: by default, it doesn’t store anything copied from Keychain Access, and it recognized that I have the LastPass password manager installed and automatically excluded that too. Preferences offer a few other options, the main one of which is to set the history capacity – which defaults to 100 items. The minimum is 10, and the maximum is ‘unlimited.’ I have it set to Shift-CMD-V, simply holding down the shift key while doing a normal paste. You can then access that history either from the Paste icon in the menu bar, or by your own choice of keyboard shortcut. Once installed, Paste automatically adds anything you copy to its clipboard history. I’ve been trying it out for the past few days … But where Paste stands out is in using a colorful interface with large previews, intended to make it easy to identify the item you want to paste. There are plenty of clipboard managers around (a quick search of the Mac App Store found 34 of them), and you might think that when you’ve seen one, you’ve seen ’em all.
You then have to find and copy the first item again. A clipboard manager solves this problem by saving a history of the items you copy, letting you paste in any one of them later. You know how it goes: you copy a link, or a piece of text, intending to paste it – then you get distracted and copy something else before you get the chance.
