It's a nice copy and paste application that should be coming to Cydia in a few days. From the looks of it, it is better and easier to use than Clippy, but only time will tell.
"Using_hClipboard How to use ℏClipboard
Introduction
ℏClipboard is a global copy and paste solution for the iPhoneOS 2.2 based on iKeyEx.
Copying
Copying the whole text field
When the keyboard appears, switch to ℏClipboard by clicking the International button (the Globe) repeatedly. Then hit the Copy button. The entire content of the text field should now appear in the top of the clipboard.

Copying a portion of text
Move the the beginning of the range of text you want to copy. Hit the Select from here... button. Then move to the end and hit the Select to here and copy button (which is the same button) again. The entry will now appear in the clipboard.

You may use the Move to beginning (←) and Move to end (→) buttons to aid navigation.
Copying Web Page Content
You have to install a bookmarklet to copy from web page content. See CopyingTextFromSafari (http://code.google.com/p/networkpx/wiki/CopyingTextFromSafari) for instructions.
Pasting
Just click on any item on the clipboard to paste it.
The item just pasted will move to the top of the clipboard.
Deleting clipboard item
Swipe horizontally on any items will reveal a Delete button. Hit this button and the item will be gone.
Templates
ℏClipboard supports a secondary clipboard called Templates. Hit the Switch to Templates/Clipboard button on the lower-left corner to switch between the two.
The main difference between Templates and Clipboard is that Templates can hold infinitely many items, while Clipboard has an upper limit of 10 items. Therefore, Templates is better for storing more permanent texts like user name while Clipboard is better for temporary things like activation code.
Known Issues
Some applications use a text field to intercept keyboard input instead of actual displaying. ℏClipboard can never copy on these applications. Examples include:
MobileTerminal (http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/)
VNC clients, e.g. Jaadu VNC (Jaadu VNC does not even support pasting).
"Enhanced" text editors, e.g. WritePad (MagicPad, on the other hand, works nicely with ℏClipboard.)
Some texts are read-only, so no clipboards will be displayed. You can't copy any text from it using keyboard-based clipboard solutions. Examples include:
Received text in MobileSMS, iRealSMS, etc.
Received mails in MobileMail -- click Reply to show the keyboard.
Web contents -- In a browser (MobileSafari, myFox, etc.) you may want to use these bookmarklets (http://code.google.com/p/networkpx/wiki/CopyingTextFromSafari) to workaround it.
PDF, Word Documents, etc.
Alternative Solutions
Copy and paste is a much-requested functionality on the iPhoneOS that Apple has repeatedly refused to add. Therefore, it is expected to see many unofficial clipboard implementations in the wild. Here lists some of them besides ℏClipboard:
Clippy (http://www.spaziocellulare.com/ispazio/en/2009/01/19/clippy-ispazio-exclusive-finally-the-real-copy-paste-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch-is-here/) is another excellent copy-and-paste solution of iPhone. It provides a system-wise single-entry clipboard, and is probably more accessible than ℏClipboard because you don't need to leave the current input mode, and more intuitive because the selection range is clearly shown. As of v0.91 you cannot copy web page text fileds like ℏClipboard, however.
CopierciN (http://code.google.com/p/copiercin/) and many "enhanced" text editors on AppStore such as MagicPad and WritePad provide internal single-entry clipboards independent of the keyboard. Of course, you can't expect these clipboard to work outside of their own apps.
OpenClip (http://www.openclip.org/main.php) was a framework for single-entry cross-application clipboard for AppStore apps, but was broken by Apple's sandbox model on 2.1."
