Still a pre-release, and still for trying rather than relying on. It has been used daily on one machine by one person. What this build is for is that several things that were wrong in 2026.1-pre1 are fixed — three of them found by using it.

Hold Ctrl, tap V to walk back through what you have copied, release to paste. The website shows it in a minute; the manual is now readable here on GitHub as well as shipping with the program.

Which download

File What is in it Needs
PasteJump-2026.1.0.155-win-x64.zip One PasteJump.exe. Portable — its data folder appears beside it, so a USB stick carries your history with it. Nothing
PasteJump-2026.1.0.155-win-x64-unpacked.zip The same build with the runtime already unpacked, 254 files. Starts about four times faster warm (~0.3 s against ~1.3 s). Nothing
PasteJump-2026.1.0.155-win-x64-net10.zip PasteJump's own files only, 15 of them, 2.8 MB. .NET 10 Desktop Runtime

Take the first unless you have a reason not to. Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Nothing is installed and nothing is written outside the folder you unzip into, unless you move the data location yourself.

Fixed since 2026.1-pre1

Three of these were reported from real use, and each was a case of the program doing something with a clip the user had not chosen — the class of bug that matters most in a clipboard manager.

  • Releasing Ctrl after Delete pasted the wrong clip. Deleting leaves the cursor where it was and the clip below moves up under it, so releasing pasted that one, into whatever you were editing. Deleting now pastes nothing on release, and the overlay says DELETED for a moment. Step to another clip and releasing pastes again, so "delete this one, paste that one" still works in one gesture.
  • The image preview showed the wrong picture, or none. With the kind filter or a search active, the overlay resolved the clip by position against the unfiltered store — so "clip 7" of the images was really stack position 31. Where that slot held text the preview vanished; where it held a different image, you saw that one. The frame now names its clip by id.
  • Image clips never previewed in the history window's Clips view. A clip keeps the clipboard formats it was copied with rather than a blob, and the preview pane only looked for a blob — so every image clip showed [image] where the picture should be.
  • The paste-mode key card (F1) opened without the keyboard, so it ignored Esc and every other key until it was clicked.

New in this build

  • The image preview zooms and pans. Fit by default, then 100%, −, +, Ctrl+scroll to zoom around the pointer, drag to pan, double-click to toggle, 0 and 1 on the keyboard.
  • The tray menu follows your theme and has icons. It was the one surface that stayed light on all nineteen themes.
  • A chip that shows cycling state names its key — Original (Z), images only (K) — so the overlay says how to change what it is showing.
  • Tidier history window: vertical column rules, columns sized from measured text, the preview pane given half the window, and image rows show a thumbnail when you hover them.
  • Marking clips to join is now switched off by default. It cost a letter in the overlay's hint and a row on the key card for something most people never use; give it any free letter under Settings → Keys to turn it on. Joining by selecting rows in the history window is unchanged.
  • The manual is now Markdown as well as HTML, generated from the same source, so it can be read in the repository.
  • CI: every push builds, runs 902 tests and renders every window on a clean machine.

Windows will warn you

This build is not signed with a paid certificate, so SmartScreen will report an unknown publisher on first run — choose More info, then Run anyway. The SHA256 of each file:

Known limitations

  • Two settings are greyed out: the trigger letter and the keystroke sent to paste. Neither is required for normal use.
  • Running alongside another clipboard manager that also claims Ctrl+V does not work — one of the two has to be closed. PasteJump warns at start-up when it recognises one.
  • Not tested on a mixed-DPI desktop. Overlay placement across monitors at different scales is unverified.
  • Windows on ARM is not built. 64-bit x86 only.
  • No installer in this build: the ZIPs are the whole release.

Privacy

Everything stays in a SQLite database in your own folder. No telemetry, no account, and no network call except an optional check for a newer release on GitHub. It is a clipboard manager, so it sees what you copy — the source is here to read, and the exclusion list is there for the things you would rather it did not.

MIT licensed. Reports and suggestions are welcome in Issues — the three fixes at the top of this list came from exactly that.
