CLCL vs PasteNow

CLCL is a freeware Windows clipboard caching utility. Press Alt+C to open its customizable pop-up menu, then choose a history item or registered item to paste into the active editor. You can register frequently used text as templates, select which clipboard formats to retain or save, and specify windows to ignore. Pictures and tooltips can appear in the menu, and a different paste key can be configured for each window. The maker says CLCL supports all clipboard formats and Unicode. Plug-ins can extend it with tools for text conversion or clipboard clearing, plus formats such as RTF and Windows metafiles. The English page states that it works with Windows XP and later.
