What Capslock-CopyPaste does
Caps Lock sits in the best spot on your keyboard and you hardly ever use it. Capslock-CopyPaste turns it into the key you use all day: copy and paste.
- Caps Lock tap once
- Copies what you selected
- Caps Lock tap twice quickly
- Pastes
- Ctrl + Caps Lock tap twice
- Pastes as plain text, without the fonts, colours and links. Handy when copying from a website into Word or an email.
- Shift + Caps Lock
- Turns normal CAPITALS on or off, for the rare times you need them
It works with text, pictures and files: anything you can copy and paste. A small note pops up next to your mouse so you know it worked, like Copied! or Pasted!
If nothing was selected, it says Nothing copied! and keeps what you copied before, so you never lose your clipboard by accident.

Windows asks whether the app may make changes. Click Yes. This lets it work in every app, including Task Manager.
See “Windows protected your PC”? Click More info, then Run anyway. Windows shows this for small apps from independent makers. It doesn’t mean something is wrong.
