The Clipboard History tool is one of forty tools in Parallels Toolbox for Mac (see Figure 1).Clips Mac App Clipboard By rabsimerra1978 Follow | Public If you’re like me, you’ll find it so useful that you’ll set it to start up whenever you turn on your Mac.
In this blog post, I’ll show you how to use this new tool. The Parallels engineers decided to solve these issues-the result is the new Clipboard History tool in Parallels® Toolbox for Mac. Over the years, a variety of apps and extensions have tried to solve these issues, but none really caught on because none were as simple to use as the clipboard itself. Lastly, the clipboard worked great on a single Mac, but there wasn’t any way to get the clipboard information to another Mac. The only way you could see what was on the clipboard was to paste the clipboard’s contents into a document. Copy something else to the clipboard, and whatever was there before got removed. First, it only stored one piece of information at a time.
There were, however, a couple of issues with the Mac clipboard. While the Mac was not the first computer with a clipboard-the Apple Lisa also had one-the Mac made the clipboard a widely known user interface (UI) concept. Later on, you could put video clips, equations, spreadsheets and more on it. You could put text, graphics and entire documents or folders on the clipboard. The clipboard was great! You could copy any kind of data to it and then later paste that data into a new location. When it was first released in 1984, one of the defining features of the Macintosh user interface was the clipboard.

The computing world lost an important pioneer, and this blog post is dedicated to his memory. Larry wrote the preface to my book, Object-Oriented Programming for the Macintosh, and was the person who hired me at Apple so many, many years ago. The individual responsible for cut, copy, and paste, Larry Tesler, passed away this month. Dedication: The clipboard is the unifying concept behind cut, copy, and paste.
