Ethervane Echo is a clipboard extender for Microsoft Windows operating systems. As other
clipboard extenders, it automatically captures data copied to clipboard from any Windows
application, stores it and lets you retrieve it easily later.
Ethervane Echo is specifically designed to help those who spend much time writing,
translating or editing text, such as journalists, editors, technical writers, programmers,
translators. Unlike some other clipboard extenders, Echo captures only text in various formats,
but not images or any other non-text data.
The program features instant search: just type a few characters, and the list of clips will be
automatically filtered to include only those that match the characters you have typed. There are
also advanced search modes that let you use wildcards and logical expressions like in popular
search engines.
The single most important design principle in Ethervane Echo is to help you retrieve clips
fast. All functions have easy to remember keyboard shortcuts, and the most commonly used
features can be accessed with as few key-presses as possible. If you ever find yourself using
the mouse in Ethervane Echo, know that the same thing can be achieved much quicker using
just the keyboard.
Ethervane Echo stores clips in a database to minimize its memory footprint. A new database is
created automatically when you run the program for the first time. Then Echo begins to populate
the database by capturing any text you copy or cut to the clipboard in other applications. When
you need to retrieve a previously captured clip, press a hotkey to bring up Echo, then select the
clip in the list or type a few characters to locate the clip you are looking for. Press Enter to paste
the clip in the currently active application, or press Ctrl+C to copy the clip to the clipboard
(without pasting it).
There are many configuration options to fine-tune what clips are stored in the database and how
long they are retained. Privacy-conscious users can configure Echo to use an in-memory
database only, so that the clips are never saved to disk.
