Just like CPU caches are small pools of memory that store information for the CPU that is the most likely instruction needed next, clipboard history does the same thing but for humans cut and pasting information, storing most recent cut'n pastes.

CPPT is unique because it stores clipboard the main menu of the program, accessible in 1-click!

Clipboard Plaintext PowerTool (CPPT) captures text/html and stores it immediately on the menu for later use. Since this a text tool, for other media it extracts the available metadata for images, movies, music and office documents to place on clipboard menu history as well. It includes the path to those files, so you can find it easily.

Do you copying pictures from internet? CPPT grabs the source page URL and image URL and puts that onto the menu clipboard history. Example copy of image below, how cool is that?

Clip 220px-Dune_2020_movie_poster.JPG [256w✕384h] ~8.7kB Dune (2021 film) - Wikipedia and 3 more pages - Profile 1 - Microsoft​ Edge,msedge.exe,
img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/67/Dune_2020_movie_poster.jpg/220px-Dune_2020_movie_poster.jpg", 
page url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(2021_film)

What makes CPPT really stands apart, with text you can apply 140+ super cool transformations for some amazing results. 

(Little known fact, system clipboard holds multiple facts/objects for each clip, that's why you can paste an Excel spreadsheet into Photoshop and it will be converted as an image or as a table in HTML, or as text in Notepad. The metadata is there already, CPPT just makes it available to you.)

  It's the most advanced clipboard tool

The key advance of CPPT is text transformations, which have been accumulated since 2013. You will not find in another tool or text editor, with this set of unique transformations to this tool. Each of the power tools have been customized and some are unique apps, you'll not find anywhere else. All Power Tools by default open with current clip on clipboard! Improving speed.

 

1-click to access functions and history

Right-click on icon to reveal menu

To use, you copy text (CTRL-C), then Right-Click CPPT icon to reveal menu - choose a transform, and finally paste (CTRL-V) the result. It's that simple!

Example of using a simple transformation for the current clip and pasting into a blog. Note: CPPT removes the HTML formatting that otherwise would be pasted here as well.

What is Windows Clipboard?

A brief introduction. The clipboard or Windows clipboard is an area in Windows operating system memory that stores clips that you can cut and paste into any other application (if that application is designed to allow this).  There are number of clipboard formats including text, Unicode text (supports different languages like Japanese), images, HTML, objects types (like Excel worksheets) and many more. BTW, you can monitor the current clip on the clipboard with Clipboard PlainText PowerTool (CPPT)  as it comes with a simple clipboard viewer.

Source: 
SELECT schemas.name AS SchemaName, tables.name AS TableName, columns.name AS ColumnName, types.name AS DataTypeName, columns.max_length, columns.precision, columns.scale, columns.is_nullable FROM sys.tables INNER JOIN sys.columns ON tables.object_id = columns.object_id INNER JOIN sys.types ON types.user_type_id = columns.user_type_id INNER JOIN sys.schemas ON schemas.schema_id = tables.schema_id WHERE tables.is_ms_shipped = 0;

Formatted with SELECT and FROM removed, it formats properly!

CPPT Menus

Menu order may change with new release, but new functions will always be updated in menu shots below.

New - Quick View

Launches a quick text windows pane, which auto-closes on loss of focus.

  Options

In Options, you can set a custom combo hotkey to and function. 

There is the ability to log clipboard history to a daily into a file, which is off by default. But if you choose "Allow Explicit!" then any lewd keywords will make it into the log, else default these are filtered out by default. This is in a CSV format and can be grouped by date and application to approximate Apple's Screen Time, but this sort of journaling was available in Microsoft Outlook, for a long time before.

Note: When assigning Custom Hotkeys you have to find a combination of keys that does not interfere with your installed applications and Windows itself! CPPT will give you a warning for already assigned keys for applications that are currently running only. So run all your applications you use and then assign the keys below.

No real time or monitoring data is gathered by this tool. No snooping. Your clips are private.

This information is kept strictly confidential and is not shared with any other party. Period.
 
Internet Connectivity
---------------------
Functions that reach out to the internet are indicated by arrows.

▲ or ↑ up-arrow indicates pinging or reaching out to the internet.
▼ or ↓ down-arrow indicates downloading information/file from the internet.

As of version 4.5+ just using ▼ (down-arrow) for all transformations that require internet connectivity.

Using these internet connected functions briefly reaches out over the internet to complete it's task. It's not a sustained pipe.
Using internet transformation reveals about the same amount of metadata as surfing to that address in your browser. But typically it reveals far less browsing metadata and is more equivalent to a curl request on UNIX systems. No other information is shared. Technically, under the C# code covers, a HttpWebRequest is usually used most of the time.

Most internet transformations will reach out to the site you wish to HTML scrape or query. For example,

'Generate <A HREF= tag with title pulled from valid URL▼'

This transformation will query a valid URL (a website) (that you copied) and try to get the title of the HTML page so when you create the link, the hover text will be the title of the webpage you pointed to. 

For 
https://www.google.com/
you get
<a href='https://www.google.com/' target='_blank' title='Google'>Google</a>
how cool is that!

So the same information as a curl request is exposed here to the site, essentially a lite browser request.

Most internet transformation are like this, if not stated otherwise.

Third-Party Sites
-----------------
'URL Link Expander' 

This transformation will query a URL and wait for the response from whatever shorting provider third-party site was used to create the short link. So the same information as a curl request is exposed here to the site, essentially a lite browser request.

'Get public IPv4 address▼'

This transformation does a lookup at http://checkip.dyndns.org to get your external IP address. It's a favorite used by programmers for many years, as of 2016 owned by Oracle.  I know, but it's a really handy feature, I use a lot. So the same information as a curl request is exposed here to the site, essentially a lite browser request.

'Sysinternals Live' transformations download files from http://live.sysinternals.com/. So the same information as a curl request is exposed here to the site, essentially a lite browser request.
