What's New

Version 1.4.1: Bug fixes.
Version 1.4: Adds the Clip Manager, a window that lets you view, arrange and edit clips and Smart Clips. This resizable window makes it easy to manage your clips and you can even paste them directly from the window. You can edit plain text and rich text clips right in the Clip Manager, so you can copy something and then edit it before pasting it elsewhere. Set one of your global keyboard shortcuts to bring up the Clip Manager and you can quickly review and paste a clip or use Smart Clips. You can also now assign global keyboard shortcuts to any Smart Clip in the Clip Manager.
