Q: No OS-level clipboard manager?

If you do a search on App Store, you will discover dozens of them there. Just select the one you like.

He gave you the appropriate answer. You are the rude one. You haven't bothered looking for something you need, then pop off for no reason at someone trying to help you. I think you need a manager for your own clipboard. It's lost track of politeness. I will report your answer.

I see nothing rude about my post.

I posted the truth they are numerous clipboard managers available on the App Store. So why should Apple bother add it to OS X.

It never helps to egg these people on. I've reported his post. Hopefully, it won't be restored.

Maybe the problem is simply too esoteric or rare to justify a solution in the OS? The apps I looked at all seemed to be quite low usage with small numbers of reviews... None of them created a feeling of trustworthiness.

Maybe that's why there isn't an OS-Level clipboard manager. Very few people find it useful.

FWIW, after doing a quick search CopyClip 2 seems promising. There is a trial and a paid version ($4.99). Never used it or any clipboard manager myself.

Perhaps you should check the developer's site for the free trial version when you are done commenting.

…but I'm liable to go much farther than that...

I'm guessing you are liable for quite a lot.
