Settings-General
Here you can change the general ACU settings.


- Clipboards - number of used clipboard buffers (You can set from 2 up to 16 buffers);
- Save/Load clipboards at Start/Exit - automatic saving of the data stored in buffers when you quit the manager and automatic buffers load up when you run the manager.
- Run at Windows startup - automatic run at Windows startup;
- Cyclic clipboard buffer (removes last used clipboard) - cyclic usage of clipboards; when enabled each copying increments the number of used buffers while new data are always placed in the 1st buffer (see Cyclic clipboard buffer);
- Show splash at startup - when enabled the greetings window is shown at startup;
- the Load defaults button restores the default settings;
- the OK button confirms the changes and closes the settings window;
- the Cancel button closes the settings window and cancel the changes been made;
- the Apply button applies the changes been made.


Confirmations:
This group of options allows you to choose actions for which confirmations will be shown. To simplify your work each confirmation window shows an operation for which it is displayed.


It's done to prevent unwanted accidental elimination of information. If you accidentally chose the operation you should choose No in the confirmation window. You can disable confirmations by checking the Never show this message again point in the needed confirmation window or by unchecking the needed point in Confirmations in the general settings window.

Clear current clipboard - a request for clearing the current buffer will be shown;
Clear all clipboards - a request for clearing all buffers;
Turn on cyclic clipboard - a request for enabling cyclic clipboard mode;
Turn off cyclic clipboard - a request for disabling cyclic clipboard mode;
Disable ACU - a request for disabling ACU;

Exit - a request for quitting the manager.

ACU simulated commands:
In some cases ACU has to imitate copying/pasting data. It happens, for example, when you use Advanced Clipboard Operations or copy data not in the 1st buffer etc. For some applications (especially old ones) copying is done with Ctrl+Ins and not with Ctrl+C. To avoid inconsistency and inconveniences while using such software you are offered to choose which key combination ACU will imitate for copy/paste/cut.
ACU was developed in such a convenient way to let you use all its abilities even with old software!




Settings-Tray icon
Here you can set up indication parameters.


Enable color highlighting - this item enables color highlighting of the current buffer status (empty/not empty). It will be applied to the icon in the System tray.
If the highlighting is enabled you can choose background color and text color for empty and full buffers from the set of 16 basic colors.

The next options group is used to setup the functional menu.
Show keyboard shortcuts - enables showing hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts) in the menu;

Show textual clipboard status - enables textual clipboard status (empty/not empty) display. This option is applied only to the Activate menu item in the functional menu. For more convenient use only the empty status (Empty) is shown for the empty buffer.

Show clipboard status in color - enables background color highlighting of the buffer status. This option is also applied only to the Activate menu item in the functional menu. There are no limits for the number of used background colors. To choose a color different from the 16 basic colors you should press the More colors button and then select the needed one.



Hot keys bindings
      Here you can setup hotkeys to use the manager quickly and easily.


Enable system hot-keys - enables/disables manager hotkeys.

Warning! In demo version only hotkeys for the first four clipboard buffers are available (See Registration).

To set a hot key combination for a particular action you need to select it in the list of actions (after that you will see the current combination for this action). Then you are to press the needed combination of keys previously having placed the cursor in the Press new key field and then confirm the combination by clicking Assign. If the combination you chose is already in use for another action then the action will be shown in the Currently assigned to: field. After you clicked the Assign button the new hotkey will be added to the Current keys list. To remove a hotkey you should choose it from the Current keys list and press the Remove key button. The Remove all button allows to delete all hotkeys set for an action quickly. The Load defaults button restores default keys combinations for all actions.

It's possible to change current hotkeys and set new ones for the buffers from 11 to 16 (for example you can use the same combinations as for the first 10 buffers but replacing the numbers with the letters q, w, e, r, t, y). Also you can enable/disable ACU and cyclic clipboard mode with hotkeys (by default these combinations are not set).
