About PasteJump
A keyboard-driven multiple-clipboard manager for Windows.
Hold Ctrl, tap V to step back through what you have copied, release to
paste. No window, no mouse, no hands leaving the keyboard. That gesture is the whole point of the
program; everything else exists to support it.
PasteJump is a ground-up reimplementation of Clipjump by Avi Aryan, which was written in AutoHotkey and stopped being developed in 2016. It was written from observed behaviour and contains none of Clipjump's code. Clipjump was the reference throughout and is credited inside the program, under Credits.
What it costs
Nothing. PasteJump is free of charge for any use, including commercial use, on any number of machines. There is no payment, no subscription, no account, no registration and no telemetry.
It is not open source. The licence permits use and unmodified redistribution of the
official package; it does not permit modifying, repackaging, selling or decompiling it. Releases up
to and including 2026.2.0.249 were published under the MIT licence and remain under it.
Get in touch
Suggestions, bug reports and questions are all welcome — including "it would be better if it did X", which is where most of what PasteJump does came from.

A bug report that says what happened is worth ten that say it broke. What you copied, what
you pressed, which application you were pasting into, and what happened instead — that is
usually enough. PasteJump also keeps two logs beside its data folder,
logs\gesture.log and logs\capture.log, which record what the keyboard
hook saw and what the clipboard did; attaching them settles most questions in one round rather than
three.
Windows will warn you on first run
The download is not signed with a paid certificate, so SmartScreen reports an unknown publisher.
Choose More info, then Run anyway. That is a deliberate decision rather than an
oversight: a signature that fails to validate looks worse than none at all. Every release publishes
a SHA256 for each file, and SHA256SUMS.txt sits beside the downloads — see
the files area.
