Once it is enabled, you can switch to the ℏClipboard keyboard by tapping on the Globe button as seen below.
The ℏClipboard has the following buttons:
Select from Here/Select to Here button 
You can also delete items in the clipboard quite easily. Swipping your finger horizontally over an item enables the “Delete” button, tapping on it will remove the item from the clipboard.
Another interesting functionality of hClipboard is a secondary clipboard called Templates. The main difference between the primary clipboard and Templates is that Templates can be used to store infinite number of items while you can copy only 10 items to the primary clipboard. So you can use Templates to record frequently used text such as usernames while you can use the primary clipboard to copy and paste temporary items.
Just like Clippy, one of limitiations of ℏClipboard as a keyboard extension is that it can only be used where iPhone’s 
If you want to copy text from an email you have received, then forward the email which will enable iPhone’s virtual keyboard and you can then use the “copy” button. Similarly in case of SMS messages instead of using the default SMS app, you can use jailbreak iPhone app biteSMS which allows you to forward SMS which will enable iPhone’s virtual keyboard and you can then use the “copy” button. The tip to copy text from SMS and Mail were given by Aleksander, one of our readers when we had posted a review about Clippy.
