Flashpaste is a new breed of text copying utilities. The Windows clipboard is sufficient for most computer users but writers, coders, and developers need a more powerful, easily customizable and practical tool. Flashpaste is all that, and more.
Flashpaste has two key features. The first is smart text templates insertion. While writing e-mails or creating documents, people frequently resort to copy & paste boilerplate text to avoid typing the same words phrases, greetings, e-mail addresses and URLs. This is especially true for those who provide customer service via e-mail, because most questions have been asked and answered numerous times before, so boilerplate replies can help. Flashpaste is also a handy tool for web developers or web designers to easily copy and paste repeated strings of HTML code.
With Flashpaste, a user "programs in" frequently used addresses, e-mail text blocks, HTML codes, words, phrases and paragraphs as text templates. Then, the material can be inserted by pressing a hotkey to launch a selection list, and navigating to designated item to insert a particular phrase.
What Can Flashpaste Do For Me?
Flashpaste can also be used to create text macros, strings that are either replaced or processed by an application. Using macros, you can paste current time and date, insert commands that emulate pressing the Tab or Enter keys, and more.
The second key feature is clipboard history. While the standard Windows clipboard inserts only the last copied text segment, Flashpaste records all recently copied words, numbers and phrases, allowing easy reuse. The feature eliminates repeated copying and pasting, and is highly useful for software developers and writers.
