Say you have the boring task of filling out many forms in a web page or software with several text fields. The clipboard saves you from typing the same text over and over again. But only one thing can be on the clipboard at a time. If you have several different pieces of text that you need to copy and paste, you have to keep highlighting and copying the same few things over and over again. Multiclipboard helps to maintain multiple clipboards under unique keywords which reduces the work of copying different stuff again and again. This is a Python program to keep track of multiple pieces of text. This “multiclipboard” is named mcb.py.
