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 boilerplate text 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.
How does it work?
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.
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.
Anything else?
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.
What can Flashpaste do for me?
Save time.
Eliminate the boring retyping of the same boilerplate text over and over.
Help to avoid misprints due to errors when typing addresses or passwords.
I like it. It's a great program once you get the hang of it. Real timesaver! I bought this one.
