PopCopy: Menubar Clipboard Extender
Clipboard extenders, which save your recent clipping and copying history, are a great way to boost your productivity and reduce the amount of switching around you need to do from one window to the next.
JumpCut, CuteClips, CopyPaste+yType all do this job well, as do Quicksilver 
and Butler which have clipboard or pasteboard histories.
PopCopy takes a slightly different approach. It lives in the Menubar, where it displays the title of the most recent clip.
When you click on the title, it launches a drop-down menu listing all the most recent clips. (The demo is limited to five clips):
However, it can also be activated with a hotkey (Command-Shift-V by default), which produces a pop-up dialog:
Hitting the hotkey again cycles through the list of stored clips, until you find the one you want.
PopCopy is shareware, like CuteClips and CopyPaste, but unlike JumpCut which is freeware. It costs USD 12 and you can get a crippled demo from the developer’s web site .
The developer plans to use any money raised from the app to help finance a trip to Japan to pursue his career as a professional wrestler.

Love your site. Fellow TD customer here. I also love the extended clipboard feature of Quicksilver, since we all know you can’t run a mac without QS
