I'm pleased to announce the release of Paste It 7.0, a major update which brings new features and improvements in an even tinier package. Here's everything that's new:
- The most requested Paste It feature has been the ability to paste multiple items from the toolbar, and with the new version this behaviour is finally supported. Clicking the toolbar will now show a popup allowing you to paste either the primary text or any of the 15 alternate text snippets:
The popup support is fully accessible with support for mouse and keyboard control, plus you can hold down CTRL (⌘ on Mac) to copy text to the clipboard instead of pasting it immediately.
If you prefer the original behaviour of pasting the primary Paste Text immediately on click, the popup can be turned off in the extension options by unchecking "Show Alternate Paste Text in toolbar popup". - "Show Alternate Paste Text in context menu flyout" is now the default option to align with the new toolbar behaviour. This can be turned off in the extension options to only show the primary text in the context menu.
- Paste It has a new icon for the first time in 14 years. The blue star was added to help differentiate from other extensions and the default paste behaviour of the OS.

- Tidied up the UX of the Options page, with larger buttons, checkbox headers and cleaner transitions.
- Fixed a race condition where paste text could get cleared if the Options page was reloaded during the loading state.
- The options page has been updated to use native JavaScript instead of jQuery. By removing the jQuery library, the entire extension is now only 25kb - more than 50% smaller than the previous version.
Paste It can be installed to any Chromium-based browser such as Chrome, Brave or Arc from the Chrome Web Store, or from Edge Add-ons for Microsoft Edge. The extension is always 100% free with no ads or tracking.
