Two Programs I am Seeking

<< < (2/3) > >>

tinjaw:
I think Johannes Wallroth might have something to meet both your needs. I use both and can recommend them. I keep them on my USB stick.

Multi Clipboard
With Multi Clipboard you have access to nine clipboard texts (slots), which you can select either via mouseclick when the program window is active, or via Hotkey "Ctrl + NUMPAD 1.. 9", even if the program is inactive or minimized to the system tray. This copies the selected slot to the Windows clipboard, from which you can paste it into your active application (for instance with Ctrl + V). The hotkey "Ctrl + NUMPAD 0" hides or shows the program window, depending on the previous state. If nine slots are not enough and you need more, you can change to another of three available files.

Multi Timer
Ten independent Timers in one program, to count down to zero or up to max. 100 hours, with 1 second accuracy. Timers can be viewed one by one or all at once and can resume on a later computer session, all settings are remembered from the previous time ran. Sound signal (optional) and blinking message window (cannot be hidden with other windows) with user-defined message on alarm. Each timer can be assigned an individual identifier string. Always on top mode and hide in System Tray mode.

J-Mac and others: Yadabyte Subtext is great, thanks! It's a good example of non-bloated application that doest just what it's supposed to do.

However, I found two small issues:


* First, it uses Windows clipboard, which is probably necessary, but might not be always comfortable. Not a big issue, as I'm using Ditto, though.

*
* Second, it always puts a space after the pasted text. This should be so when typing a space, but when I press Enter, I'd like to have a new line in the text, not the space. Anyone able to modify this? (It's an open-source.)

For a free app that was written a couple years ago, it IS pretty cool. It has worked for me so far.

That's what I wrote. It is definitely cool. Just the extra space bugs me a bit... Trying PhraseExpress at the moment, but this is an overkill for my needs. (But it doesn't clear the clipboard and doesn't add the space...)

I am using PhraseExpress and recommend it. I like it so much I bought a license for it! I haven't tried most of the alternatives others have mentioned above so I can't say how it compares but it's the best of the ones I did try. Specifically, I've used ShortKeys for years and it's a great program which I can also recommend. I never had a problem with it except that it produced a conflict with another (totally unrelated and very specialized!) program so I hunted around for a replacement and settled on PhraseExpress.
