Hold your horses there though, as it can only support recording images in the TIFF and PICT format, and not any of the more common formats such as PNG, JPG or BMPs. Outstandingly, unlike Jumpcut, ClipMenu can record images in its clipboard. ClipMenuĬlipMenu does not have the same limitations you get from Jumpcut: it can have as many history items on its clipboard as you want depending on the value you set in the preferences menu, the default value being 20. Nevertheless, it’s still quick and handy for heavy-duty copy pasting, way better than your ordinary old school method.

The downside is that Jumpcut is limited only to your links and text, and has no ability to work with images.

Jumpcut is open source and can hold up to 100 copies, while a quick view of the menu bar lets you see up to 40 of your latest clippings. You can decide not to paste your selection by hitting escape. The clipping will still be viewable in your stack, and you can navigate that by fiddling with your arrow keys and Home and End buttons easily. Once you’ve selected a text from there, Jumpcut places it in a pasteboard and attempts to automatically paste it where you position your cursor. Jumpcut was designed by its developers for providing “quick, natural and intuitive” access to the user’s clipboard history, and in that sense, the app is simple and straightforward enough. Notably, its minimalism can be taken for a lack of UI/UX sense.Īfter installation and launching the app, any text item that you cut or copy will be piled on a “stack” of clippings that can be accessed under the menu bar or through a pop-up that’s activated by pressing a customizable hotkey.
