I love the fact that technology these days is making so many things simpler for us to handle. Today I found a program that enhances the entire copy and paste function. As a writer and researcher, I am constantly going back and forth over text and need a program that will give me greater choice and freedom in my work in terms of formatting and editing. Flashpaste is one of the new breed of text copying utilities that enhances the complete writing experience. While it is really very useful for coders and developers, writers will find it very handy as well and that’s why I’m keen to get it myself.

Flashpaste’s two main features are its smart text insertion and clipboard history. If you’re doing any work that requires repetitive typing, this program is perfect for you. How it works is that you can enter in frequently used phrases, codes, paragraphs and when you need to use one of them, all you have to do is to insert them using a hotkey, finding the right one and inerting it. These features will end up saving me a lot of time and reduce the monotony of typing in the same stuff again and again. There is a free 30-day trial version of Flashpaste available if you want to see exactly how it works.
