[OS] Batch Clipboard v2.3 - easy paste queue to your Mac without a big clipboard manager, $0
TL;DR: Batch Clipboard version 2.3 has been released bringing usability and stability improvements.Raison d'Etre:There are many clipboard utilities, seemingly several new ones every month. They're called "clipboard managers" but really they provide you with a new thing to manage: to revisit, consider, arrange, and curate your clipboard history and adding new UI complexity to the experience of using your Mac. For some, managing things is a fun hobby, but for the rest of us this is more than what we want, especially now that the OS has some clipboard history features built-in.But except for users of the most feature-packed of these clipboard managers, the clipboard on your Mac still has a key limitation: you can only copy & paste one thing at a time.Batch Clipboard addresses this limitation without the complexity of a clipboard managers, allowing you to copy many things at once and then paste them where you need, all with two new copy and paste keyboard shortcuts Control-Command-C and V. It adds an icon in your menu bar and a simple menu usually not even needed, and starting in version 2, this menu can be hidden when its feature isn't being used, i.e. using your clipboard as normal.Batch Clipboard is not a manager demanding your attention, just a feature at your fingertips.Comparison:There are many clipboard managers that focus on history and don't include a paste queue feature, too many to list, but some that do have a similar feature (though potentially omit it in a free tier) include:Paste - frequently top recommendation, subscription $30/yearPastePal, CleanClip - well regarded with many features $15-20PasteBot - just updated, subscription $25/yearNanoClip - new with a stylish user interface, $5Pricing: Free for the full paste queue (aka batch) feature, US$3.99 in App Store edition for bonus features.Key features:keyboard shortcut to copy into batch, to paste from batchrepeat last batchBonus features (App Store only):saved batches replayed from menu or custom keyboard shortcutpaste all batch items with a chosen delimiterThis version:Batch Clipboard version 2.3 released this week completes the last of the planned capabilities from its to-do list (except only for localization, coming later this year) by adding:optional appearance in the Dock and app switcher, allowing more usage workflows (now all detailed at the documentation's "Ways to Use" page), like clicking its Dock icon to start collecting a batch, selecting it in the app switcher to reveal its hidden menua user-requested repeat ability extending the saved batches bonus featureimportant fixes to stability, subtle improvements to do with restoring the active window when any of the app's alerts or windows shown and then closedand moreLinks:App Store edition - https://apps.apple.com/app/batch-clipboard/id6695729238GitHub edition - https://github.com/jpmhouston/Batch-Clipboard/releases/latestSee also the GitHub repo for more options to support the app's development, instructions for installing using homebrew, links to the app's website with documentation and blog post announcing more details about this release.(I, posting this, am the author)
