Well, I certainly didn't plan on THAT epic! In my idea, I don't want ANY GUI at all (except, perhaps, a tray icon to keep the process running). I don't want to remember lots of key-commands. I am a PowerPro user, and so I have hotkeys mapped to everything under the sun already. I can't work with a program that doesn't allow me to change hotkeys. I tried a program called "clipboards" which allows you 9 clipboards, you switch between them using alt+1, alt+2, etc. Problem is that many programs (especially code-editors) will use those hotkeys also, and "clipboards" won't let you change them. I just want ONE extra keyboard mapped to use win+c, win+x and win+v. I see that Skrommel has something similar called "clipstep" which will give you multiple clipboards and you can cycle through them without any GUI - problem with that program is that it actually saves all the data to files, which is slow unless you set the executable's priority to very high.
What I am thinking, and I've coded somethin like it in Powerpro already (but it doesn't work right all the time, only some of the time and in some programs), is that when you copy with win+c, it grabs the clipboard into memory and stores it there until you use win+v. Now, I could see the value of having the option of displaying a little window to show you what is in you win-clipboard as well as your regular clipboard.
I am *very* interested to do this.
