Also worth checking out is Ditto, clipboard history manager. Much snappier and lighter than the built-in one they eventually put into Windows. Nearly identical to KDE's Klipper, CTRL ` and your searchable clipboard history appears next to your cursor.

There was a software called 3dclip, which is essentially Ditto, but much more lightweight. I think it uses native windows elements and written without use of big libraries.

Unfortunately it's discontinued and website isn't available anymore, but I have installer for anyone who is interested (it's not modified or anything). It doesn't have history search, but if all you want is a multiclipboard, it does that, and some other useful things as well. I use it for many years and happy with it.

Tried Ditto but it's too big and slow for my taste.

UPD: I was wrong, site is still up.

Love that app. The built in one does not show tons of stuff you can copy to your clipboard.

I work in IT and people are baffled when I copy a few things, paste them one by one, then search for a thing I copied a week ago…I feel naked without Ditto.

Ditto also supports searching through your clipboard history. Been using Ditto for years.

It's really a killer utility. I find it to be slightly better than KDE's Klipper and much better than Butler as a clipboard in OS X (although it's been many years since I've used Butler)

I prefer Scoop over Chocolatey https://scoop.sh/

Also Windows Terminal is really great https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk...

I also prefer ShareX for screenshots https://getsharex.com/

I just use the built-in screen snip. You can configure it to activate on press of the "print screen" key.

I like to be able to records gifs/mp4s quickly as well, for reporting some issue with an animation on a website or whatever. On Linux I like to use Peek for that, and I use the built-in Screenshot tool otherwise on Ubuntu.

On windows you can use win+g which allows you to record videos of the current window. I think it’s for games but it works for everything else pretty well.

It's also bound to Windows-Shift-S by default, as of 2018

Unfortunately scoop stopped being maintained. See https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/issues/2609#issuecommen...

Shovel, a fork of scoop, is being maintained however. https://github.com/Ash258/Scoop-Core

for screen shots, I mucked around with a bunch and ended up using lightshot https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html and a tool called GifCam to take animated Gif screenshots.

Second scoop: it’s smart use of symlinks and no need for admin is exactly what Windows CLI needs.

A nice alternative for MobaXterm is Royal TS, especially for maintaining a list of 100’s of servers and simultaneously executing commands on a subset or all of them:

Have a look at Taekwindow as well, then.

Provides the missing but to me vital functionality of "middle click the title bar to send to the back of the stack".
