Templates

hClipboard supports a secondary clipboard called Templates. Hit the Switch to Templates/Clipboard button on the lower left corner to switch between the two.The main difference between Templates and Clipboard is that Templates can hold infinitely many items, while Clipboard has an upper limit of 10 items. Therefore, Templates is better for storing  more permanent text like user name while Clipboard is better for temporary things like activation codes.
