clipboard manager

Hi. I have a 2009 13" Macbook Pro running 10.11.6. Flycut has just stopped working & other clipboard managers I've found need a newer OS. Does anyone know a clipboard manager which will still work with 10.11.6?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

I think BetterTouchTool has a rather good clipboard manager, but some assembly is required.

basically you have to create a BetterTouchTool keyboard shortcut, or trackpad gesture, or mouse button/gesture and associate that with the BTT Clipboard Manager.


But once you do that, everything you Copy will be saved for 'n' days (I have mine set to 2 months). When you bring up the clipboard manager using your keyboard shortcut or trackpad gesture or mouse gesture/button, the most previous copies are arranged in most recent to oldest. You can start typing a search string and quickly find old entries for what you want. You can scroll the list. You can edit the contents of a clipboard entry. You can paste back with all the original formatting/fonts, or you paste back as plain text.


For me the BTT Clipboard Manager has been a game changer, and totally changed my normal workflow.


BTT also allows you to customize your keyboard, trackpad, mouse, touch bar, etc... creating keyboard shortcuts, trackpad gestures, mouse gestures and button actions that you can bind to hundreds of either built-in actions, or you can run an Applescript, or an app.
