Shapeshifter (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shapeshifter is a freeware clipboard history manager made by Flamefusion. It allows you to have several items in your Windows clipboard, which is normally limited to one single item.

Shapeshifter works by hooking on to the default clipboard hotkeys in Windows, to add extra functionality for hotkeys such as "CTRL + V" and so on[1]. Furthermore, it is claimed to decrease the RAM usage of Windows, by overriding the default clipboard manager with a manager that compresses its items in the memory[2]. While some clipboard managers are only compatible with copying text, Shapeshifter can copy any format, including customized formats between third party applications[3].
