Shapeshifter for Windows

Used Shapeshifter for Windows?

Developer’s Description

Have several items in your clipboard, and easily swap between them.

Shapeshifter is the best clipboard manager out there and the most maintained one as well. Pressing CTRL + V normally pastes the last inserted item from the clipboard, but holding down CTRL + V instead displays a beautiful interface allowing you to easily look through your clipboard history, and select the item you need. There is no limit on the types of data Shapeshifter supports. Even customized data between applications. Distinguishing between clipboard formats in the history is also easy, since every data-type has its own visual representation in the user interface. The program itself comes with adjustable settings, and the user interface adapts to your Windows Aero color from your personal customizations.

Pros
+ OPEN SOURCE!! :) + Easy to set up and use + Clean interface, blends perfectly with Windows 8 + Not bloated with extra features
Cons
- It's a bit awkward holding Ctrl-V down and reaching for the arrow keys.
Summary
A couple improvements that would be nice to have: * Could use a better tutorial. * A quick button to clear all items in the clipboard would be nice. This is all I wanted in a clipboard manager. There are a couple improvements that I would like to see, but I prefer it that way over having too many features, which is what happened with a lot of the other clipboard managers I've seen.
Don't waste your time.

Pros
None - Doesn't install.
Cons
Doesn't install properly. Ever since I posted to their Facebook page to see if they had a fix, I've been receiving a series of ever more bizarre messages, insisting that it must be my fault. This, even after I told them I was no longer interested.
Summary
Don't start with these people unless you like being cyber-stalked!
Ingenious management of the Clipboard

Pros
Fast and Simple Interface Customizable Settings Active Development
Cons
Previous version had a ton of bugs
Summary
I was looking for a clipboard program that had easy access to the history for a long time. All the other popular programs had the clipboard history, but were a pain to access. Then along came Shapeshifter with the Ctrl+V access. This was such an easy, smart way to access the clipboard! Once you use it, you will never look back. Thank you FlameFusion!

Shapeshifter is awesome!

Pros
Easy user interface Saves numerous default "print screen" actions without losing any of the previous screens! Works with graphically intense games. Extends the clipboard like it claims.
Cons
None that I have found so far!
Summary
This free program is awesome and takes away the need for a special print screen program. I would recommend this program even for the basic user. To view what is on the clipboard hold CTRL+V. If you want to paste something use the up and down keys to find which screen or text you want. Deslect CTRL+V and it is pasted!
