CLCL

So you've heard about CLCL and want to get it running on your Windows 10 machine? Great choice! This lightweight clipboard manager is a game changer for anyone juggling multiple files, texts, or images throughout their workday. Unlike the standard Windows clipboard which only holds one item at a time CLCL acts like a digital notepad, storing up to 30 copied items by default (though you can tweak this limit in the settings). It’s perfect for writers, programmers, or anyone who frequently copies and pastes.

Getting started is simple. First, download CLCL from a trusted source online it’s free and doesn’t require installation. Just unzip the folder and run the executable file. Once launched, you’ll notice a small icon appear in your system tray. Right click it to explore options like history view, formatting preferences, or hotkey customization. One of its handy features is the ability to "pin" frequently used clips, so they’re always accessible.

To enable clipboard caching the core function that saves your copied items you don’t need to dig into system settings like the old method described in some guides. CLCL works automatically in the background. Just start copying text or files as you normally would, and CLCL will store each one in its history. Press Ctrl + Shift + V (or your custom hotkey) to bring up the list of recent clips and select what you need. You can also categorize clips, delete unwanted ones, or export them for backup.

If you want to increase the storage limit beyond 30 items, right click the system tray icon, go to Options > History, and adjust the "Max. number of histories" setting. For power users, CLCL supports plugins and advanced filters, making it a flexible tool for specific workflows. Give it a try you’ll wonder how you ever worked without it!
