If I’m going to use my Dell laptop as my main machine on a trip in early summer, I’m going to need decent equivilents to:
- shadowClipboard – an excelent, elegant, simple multi-clipboard app for OS X. In my searches I’ve found a bunch of multi-clipboard apps that use lots of mouse-clicks and pop-up windows, but nothing like shadowClipboard.
- YouControl : Desktops – a smart desktop manager for OS X that keeps items in their desktops and activates the desktop instead of bringing the app into the current desktop when you click on the app’s doc icon or use Cmd-Tab (Alt-Tab). Since lots of windows folks do everything in full-screen mode, perhaps this type of utility isn’t as popular on windows?
I’m currently using Ditto, but it doesn’t look as featureful as shadowClipboard. I recently put out a similar call and had a high recommendation for clipmate, but it did 95% more than I needed.
I don’t use a desktop manager, the 2 LCD’s I use are enough for me. I am pretty curious where “Since lots of windows folks do everything in full-screen mode” comes from. It’s not something I’d ever noticed.
Brett: “It’s not something I’d ever noticed.” – that’s something I see most Windows users do most of the time. Some apps they don’t (IM windows for example), but pretty much everything else (Word, Excel, web browser) is done with the window maximised (“full screen”).
I would have to agree with Alex – at least 95% of the windows users I have admin’d run everything maximized. Even when newer/bigger monitors are purchased, they still insist on running maximized. Maybe it’s the fact that they’re not used to multitasking? It does drive a bit crazy to see that kind of behavoir though. Maybe that’s why tabs are so popular these days?
