Most keylogger programs will record this. Note : You probably don't want a keylogger on your system, but for educational purposes you can do this.
Refog Keylogger This one is free, and you can uninstall it after you're done. Be smart.
There is also programs to expand your copy paste abilities. I highly recommend ClipX. This is a clipboard history manager. So, imagine you want to copy paste several things, but you don't want to erase over the first thing you copied. This gives you a configurable amount of Copy Paste "slots" (Default of ten) and it will let you copy paste text, URLs, images, spreadsheet data, whatever. Simple to use, and can show a history.
Of note : You'll only see the history after you start using it - you won't recover previously made copy paste stuff.
I don't know how many times that happened to me. But now (in the voice of an overenthusiastic ad person) I use ClipX! It's minimalistic and functional and it remembers fucking everything. It was a crutch; now it's a whole new limb.
It's been a while since it was updated, but the current beta runs perfect on Win7 x64.
Clipx - Multiple copy/paste history. Ctrl-shift-v pulls up a menu of the last 25 things you copied to let you pick what to paste. Handles all kinds of formats (images, files, etc). This sort of functionality should be standard in every OS today, but it's not.
The universal copy and paste is amazing, especially when paired with ClipX
ClipX is one of those things I have to install on every computer I have, or I feel like I'm trying to work with missing fingers.
ClipX clipboard manager. Can be customized and has good plugin support, but just the ability to have access to what I copied 3-4 items previous to what's currently on my clipboard is amazing. Especially useful if you do any kind of repetitive data entry.
I'm still using ClipX!
The latest release is 9 years old today, but it still works like a charm (save for randomly closing every now and then). Might give Ditto another chance, though.
You might also try a clipboard manager that has a persistent history. I use ClipX with the Stickies plugin for Windows and Parcellite for Linux (both freeware) for example, but there are loads of alternatives. Some even have network sync.
ClipX Stores multiple clipboard items and allows you to make hotkeys to automatically paste last, second last, etc. Used every day, and every minute when I'm programming.
Use ctrl+c as usual but then when you want to paste you would use whatever command you setup to bring up a popup box. It's pretty customizable. You can click with the mouse what you want to paste from the box or you can select which option you want to pick with its associated number.
I have my popup box set to alt+q since it is close to alt+tab to change windows.
Hope that helps.
I've never heard of anything that lets you use two separate machines and allows for drag-and-drop of files or windows. Seems like you get one or the other, but not both.
Synergy supports a shared clipboard, so you could probably get halfway there via keyboard shortcuts. For example, I use the program Clip-X as a clipboard manager, and it has a built-in feature to launch a web browser or web search from whatever is at the top of the clipboard stack.
Another option, similar to Synergy, is Input Director. I prefer it to Synergy, but only when both sides are running a Windows variant, as it is not cross-platform. I doubt it has the kind of features you want, but it's worth a look.
For me, it is "ClipX"; a simple clipboard application that can remember more than 1000 of your most recent copied text and image items. I can't tell you how many times that thing has saved my time and effort (and ass)—this post included!
I thought of this, so I found ClipX. Then I realized that I rarely use this on purpose. It's mostly for when I accidentally copy something on top of something I was using.
Oh yeah, it should be listed there (but obviously isn't for some reason). I wonder if it's because of Windows 8 (ClipX hasn't been updated since 2005, or 2008 for the beta builds). Did you try the 64-bit beta build?
On the homepage there's also a 'Download Plugins' which I imagine does the same thing as if you were to install them via the Plugins page in the settings.
Windows does not have built-in history for copy/paste.
I understand not doing it with early versions of Windows due to memory constraints, but come on guys! Memory is cheap now! There's no reason my computer should only be able to remember the very last thing I copied.
I have been using Clipx to add this feature since I first found out about it. (I especially am pleased by the fact that they haven't needed to update it since 2005)
well since you program all the system clipboard is to the average Microsoft programmer is a byte arrays that has a format identifier, and also optionally you can choose to make the data stored in the clipboard application only or system wide.
For instance if you are copying a data backed excel object it isn't exactly going to work in word without the data backing from the excel sheet (it might I dunno how advanced office is in that department yet, it may be able to link to an excel file and pull the data, dunno, but it's an example) so in this instance excel would use the application specific clipboard.
What you are talking about sounds like a utility called clipx. It is a clipboard history manager and will store every clipboard action you make that it can understand, so images and text play very nicely together.
It's free and lives in your system tray :-)
Clipx - It's a memory for your clipboard. CTRL+V still pastes but CTRL+Shift+V brings up a searchable list of up to 1024 of your last copied items. One of the first things I install on a new OS.
Clipx. Download this if you don't already have it. It allows for multiple copying. I have my command setup as "alt Q" since it's close to "alt tab" and my fingers are generally always in that area. It brings up a menu and you can mouse click what you want to select, type the corresponding number, or use the arrow keys and hit enter to select which item you want to paste. This has made me a shit ton more productive at work.
OK all you shortcut lovers... this little app rocks: ClipX found on Bluemars.org
It provides a copy/paste buffer. Also, I love how it will selectively strip formatting from content copied off the web that I want to paste into Word or other apps.
