This is a simple, portable clipboard manager written in Kotlin. It
should run on all three of {Linux, Macintosh, Windows}.

Although in most respects pretty basic, it does support one feature that
I wish most clipboard managers had (but to my knowledge which none but
this one have): the ability to coerce a text from one font family to
another. By this I mean, suppose you have a text passage in 10 point
Times Roman. The text uses bold and italics for emphasis. You wish to
paste into a document as 12 point Helvetica.

For the vast majority of document-editing programs, you have two
choices, both of them bad:
1. Paste the text preserving existing formatting, i.e. as 10 point Times
   Roman, then plod through it converting the plain text parts to 12
   point Helvetica plain, the italics to 12 point Helvetica oblique, and
   the bold to 12 point Helvetica bold.
2. As above, but paste as plain text, losing all formatting, then put
   the relevant formatting back.

Just *try* getting everything correct on the first try, I dare you. Yet
all the emphasis is there in the original text; it shouldn’t be *that*
hard to use it to generate a comparable text in a new font family. Yet
no such option exists!

ClipMan has such an option. Copy the source text into the clipboard,
choose “Coerce…” and select 12-point Helvetica as the proportional font
to coerce to. Bam! Done!

A somewhat obscure operation, perhaps, and even I don’t use it every
day. But when I need it, it is *very* convenient to have it.
