Flashpaste

Why type when you can paste?

What do you do with your computer? If you use it for more than games and movies, you probably spend time typing: emails, messages, forum posts and chats. Addresses, logins, contact details and filenames are entered again and again. Perhaps working with text is your job. Writers, journalists, editors, programmers, web developers and support staff spend much of their day typing.

Why spend time and effort on repetitive tasks when you have more important tasks? Maybe you want to spend time on interesting creative work or start doing the things you never had time for? Maybe you just want to rest or spend time with your family. I do not know what you will do with this time but I know how to get it. Make a change with Flashpaste. This utility will free you from routine typing. Just copy or paste.

In fact, Flashpaste is your personal text repository. It doesn't matter what you will store there: your login and password, your signature, or a long instruction for your users. It is important that this information is always at hand. When needed, you just select the necessary text in the line tree and in a couple of seconds it is pasted to the necessary window. What could be easier? You can also repeat the most recent paste: press a hotkey and the same text is inserted again.

With Flashpaste, you can paste text into almost any input field: MS Word, your favorite email client, a web form, a specialized medical application or a personal information manager. You can enter text faster wherever you need it. Even in those rare cases when Flashpaste cannot paste the line (in my experience it doesn't work with the address line of Avant Browser, though it works great with Internet Explorer), you still can make it faster because Flashpaste can not only paste text into applications but also copy it to the clipboard. All you need to do after that is press Ctrl+V to paste text from the clipboard.

Flashpaste also helps you copy and reuse text. It keeps the 10 most recent text fragments copied to the clipboard. This function is called the clipboard history. Besides, macros are also supported. Do you want to be able to quickly insert the current date? I can already do it. However, I wasn't able to use more complex macros for Photoshop, though the sample works.

This short article cannot cover all of Flashpaste's features. If you are interested you can view the program help file without installing it. But macros and clipboard history are not the main thing. What matters most is that you can immediately paste, paste and paste text. Quickly, easily and error-free, doesn't it sound good? I recommend: https://flashpaste.com/download.
