PasteJUmp

A keyboard-driven multiple-clipboard manager for Windows.

Hold Ctrl, tap V to step back through what you have copied, release to paste. That gesture — a jog wheel for your clipboard — is the whole point.

Built with .NET 10 and WPF. Ships as a single self-contained PasteJump.exe — no .NET runtime needed on the target machine, nothing to install, and nothing beside it.

Three things beyond the jog wheel are worth knowing about up front:

The overlay comes to you. It appears right beside the text caret — where you are already looking — rather than in a fixed corner of the screen you have to glance away to. In applications that expose no caret to Windows (every browser, Electron, and Visual Studio among them) it centres itself on the window you are pasting into, so it is never on another monitor; and when that window is one Windows draws above everything, such as the Start menu, it steps aside to a corner rather than hiding behind it. Join several clips into one paste. Select several rows in the history window and Copy becomes Copy Joined — they paste as one clip rather than one after another, with a separator of your choosing; images are left out and counted. There is a key for doing the same during the gesture, switched off by default because most people paste twice rather than mark twice: give it a letter under Settings ? Keys. Eighteen themes beyond Light and Dark, and you can write your own. A theme is a small .json file of named colours that inherits everything it does not set, so a three-line file is a valid theme. Solarized, Catppuccin, Nord, Dracula, Tokyo Night, Monokai, Gruvbox, Kanagawa and more are built in, and the theme applies as you step through the list. Why this exists PasteJump is a ground-up reimplementation of aviaryan/Clipjump, an excellent AutoHotkey v1 utility whose last commit was April 2016. The gesture it invented is still, as far as I can tell, unique — no other clipboard manager lets you walk a stack without ever opening a window or moving your hands. But AHK v1 made it effectively unmaintainable: no debugger, no tests, ~60 mutable globals, gosub control flow, and runtime string-based variable dereferencing.

This is a reimplementation from observed behaviour, not a port. No Clipjump code was copied.
