Slot Copy is a high-speed, multi-slot clipboard manager designed to eliminate 'Alt-Tab ping-pong' during repetitive, keyboard-driven copy-and-paste workflows. Instead of copying one item, switching windows, pasting it, and switching back, Slot Copy allows you to load up to 9 separate items into dedicated memory slots and paste them instantly using global hotkeys.

How does Slot Copy solve the Alt-Tab bottleneck?

Traditional copy-pasting forces you to switch back and forth between your source and target windows for every single item. With Slot Copy, you can copy up to 9 different pieces of information (like a username, email, phone number, and address) into memory slots 1 through 9 in a single pass. You then alt-tab just once to your target application and paste them in any order directly using hotkeys.

What is the difference between Slot Copy and a traditional clipboard history manager?

Traditional clipboard managers record everything you copy, but pasting requires opening a popup list, scrolling or searching, and using your mouse/arrow keys. This breaks your touch-typing flow. Slot Copy uses fixed, override-only slots bound directly to global system hotkeys. It requires no visual search or mouse interaction—it operates entirely at the speed of thought. No-UI clipboard manager software can improve you workflow as intuitively as Slot Copy.

Does Slot Copy disturb my normal system copy-paste workflow?

Not at all. Slot Copy features non-destructive clipboard restoration. When you trigger a paste from a slot, Slot Copy briefly sets the system clipboard to that slot's item, performs the paste command, and immediately restores your original clipboard content. Any active copy-paste sequence outside of Slot Copy is completely untouched.

Can Slot Copy handle large files, folders, and high-resolution images?

Yes, safely. Slot Copy does not load heavy file contents (like 4K video clips or multi-gigabyte ZIP archives) into memory. Instead, it stores the reference file paths. Before pasting, it automatically verifies that the file still exists at the original disk location. If it was deleted or moved, a clean, non-blocking desktop toast notification lets you know.

Is my clipboard data private and secure?

Absolutely. Slot Copy runs entirely local to your device and stores all configurations and slots in an offline SQLite database. We collect zero telemetry, have no servers, and offer no cloud integrations. Your sensitive clipboard data (passwords, tokens, drafts) never leaves your physical machine.

What data types does Slot Copy officially support?

Slot Copy supports plain text, rich text (HTML/RTF formatting is kept intact), images copied from files or explorer, and file/folder paths. Apps like Photoshop with custom proprietary clipboard layers are ignored in version 1.0 to ensure system-wide stability.

Can I customize the default system hotkeys?

Yes. In the Settings tab of the Slot Copy dashboard, you can customize both the 'Save to Slot' and 'Paste from Slot' key combinations, configure startup preferences, choose between dark and light themes, and manage database locations.
