Has Anyone Used The TextBEAST Clipboard Manager?

textBEAST looks good and a lot of people would probably find it useful, but I don’t like the fact that you have to open the application and select where you want your clipped text to go before you copy it. I might be wrong about the way it works since I haven’t read through all the documentation, but the ergonomics seems pretty awkward.

CintaNotes is the best personal notes manager of this kind I’ve ever found. You can copy text directly to a note in CintaNotes without ever opening the program. It just has to be running in the system tray. Highlight the text you want to copy, then CTL-F12 and you’re done. That’s all there is to it. And if you want to write a note yourself, a hot key will open the note editor. You never have to take your hands off the keyboard.

I hope Alex (?) keeps developing CintaNotes. It’s the most ergonomic program I’ve used in a long time. I’d definitely be willing to pay for a license in the future.
