Clippy finally got it right

wildonrio · 03-09-2009, 08:43 PM

Have you seen the newest update? Wow. You hold anywhere in seemingly any app and a very nice-looking window pops up with the option to Cut, Copy, Paste, or see your Stack. It actually looks very iPhone native. I love it. It is now definitely better than hClipboard.

Now my only worry is that the author seems to COMPLETELY change the app with each update rather drastically. I really think he got it right this time and I really, really hope he sort of just leaves it how it is.

EDIT: Here are some screenshots!

1. Hold and wait for Clippy's pop-up window on any paragraph of text in virtually any app and choose Copy:

2. Now find a place where you can type, like Notepad, Text, Email, etc., hold and wait in the typing area for the pop-up window again and choose Paste to paste you last copied/cut item. Alternatively, you can choose Stack and see a list of all your past copied items.

3. Your text is pasted.

4. If you want to copy just a certain portion of a paragraph, double tap and hold on the beginning of the text you want to copy and drag to the end of the section you want.

5. Let go to see the pop-up window. Notice that since the text is editable, you now you have an option to Cut as well as Copy.

And don't forget, choosing Stack will give you a list of everything you have copied in the past which you can paste again at any time. (I don't think I'm allowed more than 5 images per post or I would give you another screenshot :/)

Yep, just got that too.

Outstanding so far. Go get it.

So, if this makes it to the Cydia store, how much would you be prepared to pay for it?

I'd go $10.

it better not go into the store until it at least gets everything right and you are able to copy/paste anything.

Picky picky! It can already do just about anything. What more are you looking for? I'd pay $10.

well, i have it for free now, and that's fine by me.

I can't fault it yet.

I'm really surprised this thread's not buzzing.

What really impresses me is how 'stock' it appears.

So you can copy stuff that isn't an SMS or in a text box? I need to reinstall it.

"What really impresses me is how 'stock' it appears."

Except when it's used in landscape orientation. I'm giving it another try. I actually copied that quote Clippy. There's an SBS toggle for Clippy but I don't see why you would need to disable it. Does it use up a lot of resources?

So how to you copy web content with Clippy?
