The M8 multi clipboard captures everything that you cut or copy from any program. The last 30 clips are shown in its clipboard area. As you move the mouse over the clips, you can see them in the viewer. If the clip is text, you see the first several lines and if it is a graphic, you see a thumbnail of it. To paste back a clip, you click on it.
It has two other areas each containing 30 clips. A palette and a library (See screen shot) You drag clips from the clipboard area to the other areas to save them permanently. The palette is for your 30 most used clips. The library shows one group of 30 clips. There are 100 groups in the library and you can have 100 libraries (300,000 clip capacity). To find clips in the library, you can select groups by name or you can browse through them with tape recorder style controls.
It has a Form filling mode” - Pre-save clips of name, address, phone no. Etc. and you can fill forms just by clicking on those clips - It even moves the cursor automatically to the next field after each paste.
It also has four customizable buttons to start your most used programs. Dragging a clip to one of these buttons, starts the program and pastes in the clip. This allows you to edit clips in the program that first created them. It also means that you have an alternative to saving documents as files. Instead of saving a document and reloading it from a file, you can just copy it and paste it back later. When you reload from file, you only have a list of file names to select from. Finding the document as a clip with M8's viewer is much easier.
