Windows' native clipboard manager is OK, even if it could get some improvements. Complementary to that, I also use Phrase Express, to keep a database of snippets of any kind (not just code), which also includes it's own clipboard manager.

That's an interesting approach 😉
Took a quick look and lots of useful features there 👍

Phrase Express is a very interesting program, as its snippets can be retrieved anywhere, no matter the context and they support custom input to pass variables. Phrase Express, ShareX, and FastStone Image Viewer (for its batch-processing capabilities) are among the first programs that I install on every new PC.

Also use ShareX and FastStone Image Resizer, both are 🔥🔥
Need to take a look at FastStone Image Viewer (didn't know they had one) as the Windows default one is buggy at times, recently ☹

Well, FastStone Image Viewer is practically the viewer plus Resizer and Screen capture. It's fast and very convenient if you want to do basic processing like cropping or resizing, especially if you take advantage of its keyboard shortcuts instead of point and click on the options. I use it for more than a decade probably, and I've donated to it twice to express my gratitude! :D
