What Hacker News says

15 sources
Not familiar with flycut, but had a look through their issues. There are a few security-related, and a bunch of iCloud stuff. Eg, this one to add the option to disable iCloud sync, which is still open after 4 years: https://github.com/TermiT/Flycut/issues/200 From that it seems clipbook may be better for people who care about local-only or have other security-related concerns (perhaps related to workplace policy, for example). Maybe someone who knows more could weigh in?
In Show HN: A keyboard-centric clipboard history app for macOS
On MacOS, you can use Flycut (https://github.com/TermiT/Flycut) to manage your clipboard. Just assign it to cmd + shift + v and it will allow you to cycle through your buffers. This is nice when you need multiple items from the same source (say login/password from password manager), instead of doing "copy ; switch ; paste ; switch ; copy ; paste" you can now do "copy ; copy ; switch ; paste ; paste". It's a phenomenal time saver and it will take care of the additional LF at the end, as well!
In Yet another tool for making copy/paste/run experience better (Windows)
Flycut [1] pretty much works just as you describe including the keyboard shortcut (shift+cmd+v is the equivalent on the mac). It's installed on every single Mac at my office and works really well. Now go buy yourself a shiny new mac today and report back... for science!
