rjbull: I am running this program now. I set the Popup key to ctrl+V.

Upon pressing that, the popup appears but when the item is selected by using arrow key and pressing enter or when double clicked by mouse, the item doesn't get pasted. The menu flickers and appears again.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about this, but, Ctrl-V is the standard Windows key for Paste in just about all programs.  You may have a conflict, i.e. ArsClip has let you define a key that can't really be redefined.  Suggest you temporarily try, say, Shift-Ctrl-Z for the popup, which is what I've used for ages and works well for me, and see if it makes a difference for you.

ArsClip 3.1.0 also defines Win-V for Paste Clipboard as Plain Text.  I don't know if there's any conflict there as well, but it seems to work OK here, not that I often paste fancy text.

HTH...

The default means through which ArseClip sends the clip to the program is ctrl+v -- so by setting your shortcut to ctrl+v, you're just re-envoking Arsclip each time you try to insert a clip.  I'd suggest using a different keystroke, as rjbull said, but if you want to use ctrl+v to envoke arseclip you can change the way arsclip pastes the data,  Open the arseclip Configuration and select the "pasting" section. There, you can change the pasting method used to shift+insert.
