There are a lot of information can be found on the Internet but unfortunately we cannot believe all of them which is why we need to do further research to see if the information is true or false. Performing research from the Internet normally requires a lot of copying and pasting which saves us the trouble from typing the sentence or words again and again. However in the middle of the copying and pasting process, there are still a few more mouse clicks to be done in between programs and detours.
One example is you’ve heard a lot of good reviews about this restaurant and the official website has their address. Instead of opening a new browser tab/window, typing http://www.google.com/maps address and then pasting the address to locate it in Google Maps, you can simplify all that by copying the address from the website and a click of a button. This is all made possible with a free software called click.to.
Basically click.to simplifies your daily work significantly by helping you to skip a few steps in between. As long as something is copied to the clipboard, the click.to action satellites will show allowing you to choose as much as 45 different actions ranging from posting a picture to Facebook which takes normally takes 11 clicks to do it but only 1 with click.to to as simple as saving the clipboard data to a text file.
At click.to Actions options, you get to select the actions that you normally would want to use to show at the satellite while the rest is still available through the menu. Other than the 45 actions that comes by default, you can add customized web action or Windows application call.
You can also configure the location of the action satellites from the Appearance option because by default it is located on top of you screen. You can set it to show on top of your mouse cursor so you don’t need to move your mouse cursor all the way to do top to activate the satellite bar and select an action. It is also possible to set a shortcut key to show the satellite.
Do take note that when copying to a document such as Notepad, Word or Excel, the files are created and temporarily saved to clickto folder in My Documents. When you manually close the click.to application or restart Windows, the clickto folder will get cleaned automatically. So if you want to keep any of the files in that folder, you have to extract them and save it to somewhere else.
click.to is a huge time saver if you’ve set up the actions that you normally use. click.to takes up over 40MB of memory usage during testing. click.to is free and will remain as free according to their FAQ page. It runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and also Mac OS.
