CopyPaste Pro looks like it could be a great tool, but unfortunately it is missing a vital feature that I need: fully customisable shortcuts, and better keyboard handling.

I am using a much simpler clipboard history (the one that comes with Alfred), and will continue to do so for two key reasons:

1. I can customise the shortcut key that opens the clip viewer.
2. I can choose previous clips with a shortcut key, or by typing to search.

I can't do these things in CopyPastePro, so even though it offers many more features, it is slower/more cumbersome to use than the tool I already have.

Please provide the option of customising ANY shortcut to open the browser - I don't like either Cmd+VV or Cmd+V (hold CMD). I want Cmd+Alt+V, but really it should allow you to record any shortcut.

Once the browser is open, I want to be able to choose one of the entries (or at least one of the first ten entries), by hitting a number. At the moment, numbers are used to select Clip Archive entries, but there's no way to select Clip History entries by number or any other shortcut.

One problem is that the clip history only remains open when Command is held down. This limits your shortcut abilities. I want to hit a shortcut, e.g. Cmd-Alt-V, and then release and have the browser remain. Then you could provide the ability to have Cmd+number = choose clip from browser, Alt+number = choose clip from archive, etc, and also you could provide a text entry box and allow free typing to search/filter the list. This is VERY useful - I often have hundreds of clips in my clip history, and I need to be able to free text search them. But I don't want to have to use my mouse to click a special entry in the menu for this, I just want to use my normal shortcut, type to filter, then hit enter (or Cmd+number) to select the clip.

So in general I think you need to review how your app is used by power keyboard users - it should be possible to access all the main features of the app with keyboard alone.

Really I think you should provide a dedicated "Assign Keyboard Shortcuts" preference screen, where the user can assign any shortcut to any and all of your features.

One final thing - I don't like the horizontal view of the Clip Browser. I want vertical. The Clip Palette supports vertical, and I can open that with a better shortcut (Cmd+Ctr+Opt+V), but then I can't control it with the keyboard, so it's useless.

I really like the potential of this app, and I would definitely use it if it supported fast use via keyboard, and fully assignable shortcuts. But as it is, I am using a much less powerful clipboard app, because that app is still far faster for me because it has good keyboard support.

I acquired CopyPaste Pro 3.3 as an intended upgrade to my existing CopyPaste-X, which had shown several nuisance glitches ever since I had upgraded my Mac from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6.7. Well...

I have a large number of CP-X Clipsets, and expected an ability to import those into CP-P. The CP-Pro Online Manual claims:

'You can import clipboards from old CopyPaste-X by using the "Import Clip Sets..." command from the "Select Clip Archive" menu.'

Sounds promising. Unfortunately it is simply not true: There is no such command!

Back to CP-X.

Bluestar - Go to System Preferences / Users & Groups / Login Items and uncheck the "Hide" box in front of CopyPaste. That should fix your problem.

I was an avid user of TechTools back a long time ago. When it was no longer available, I was bummed out. I loved it's features, like being able to clean up copy and also to fix things like caps to lowercase and more. Then Copy/Paste arrived on the scene and I've been using it ever since. I love it!!! Especially since I am a writer and a graphic designer. I can use both interchangeably and it's a dream. The only thing that I'm having issues with right now is with C/P & Bean marriage. Bean was working fine in previous versions. Now, when I do the "open selection in editor" function, Bean opens up but no one is home. It's just a blank document. Before, it would automatically transfer to Bean. It's a bit annoying, but I can work around it. When I write, I use TextEdit or Word because I can make changes that are important to me without having to go through hoops.
Anyone else having issues like this that have not been covered already?
On another note, I messed up one of my clipboards and have had some problems getting it back to where it was. Oh, well! Don't try to do too many things at once. My bad. My lesson learned.

Version 3.1 is now available. In-app update seems to fail after downloading and prior to installation but downloading 3.1 directly from the developer's site seems to work fine.

GReat app, by the way.

Updated to version 2.3 running OS X 10.5.8 on G4 PPC - crashes when archiving clip history. On relaunch all clips have disappeared from clip history.

Does anybody else feel that CopyPaste is slow to catch a "⌘C" when doing a quick keystroke? I find that it misses copies that are usually caught if the program is not running -- this has led me not to use the program anymore. Perhaps there is some setting within the preferences that I am not aware of, that will help change the speed/sensitivity of the keystroke capture?

Thanks

I've posted before about CopyPaste Pro not saving clips copied before restarts when "save clips when quitting" is checked in preferences. I have found that the only way to be sure that all clips are remembered in history is to quit CopyPaste Pro before restart. Here is part of a reply I received from the developer July 3 2009:

"i thought before i check in with peter again on that that i would check again to see if it occurs and strangely enough it i did. so you are correct there is a problem with the history not remembering items copied before a restart. i will let peter know and he will get back to us shortly."

Everytime I try to launch CopyPaste Bean opens as well !
think this is a bug ? irritating.....
