I use ClipMenu.

UPDATE
I have actually now started using Clippings from the app store. It's $2.99 and worth it.
The reasons I decided to stop using PTHPasteboard were that it is a little buggy and I tried to send feedback to the author but never heard anything. Also it is expensive at $25. Wish the author was continuing development and taking requests for a couple of UI/UX fixes, but until then I really like "Clippings"
ORIGINAL POST
I'm coming from Windows and LOVED the Ditto clipboard manager. It was SO SIMPLE and powerful. Wish I could find the same thing for Mac.
I first tried ClipMenu
and Jumpcut
, and have also tried using Quicksilver
's built in clipboard manager. I have not been too happy with any of them. I also looked at a few articles describing the so called best clipboard manager for mac, like this one. The closest one I could find was Clyppan ($5) until I found this question and tried PTH Pasteboard as Mark had suggested.
Here's the functionality that I loved about Ditto:
cmd+shift+v
on mac.If Clyppan would just fix the shortcut keys so that I could search and select clips more easily I would highly recommend it - otherwise i'd say PTH Pasteboard is much more powerful and by far my favorite choice.

My current pick is PTH Pasteboard. I like the ability to run scripts, any flavor you want (applescript, bash, python, perl, etc...) on what I am pasting. And multiple filters can come in handy.
I bought the pro version after trying it for about 10 minutes. I used to use CopyPaste Pro, but they fell way behind during the transition to MacOS X and that doesn't have some features that I consider essential.
And now the whole site is dead and probably the app – Dan Rosenstark – 2015-05-14T00:26:56.487
Free version is no longer available for download. You have to use PRO version, which gives you only 30-days for free (in demo mode). – Peter Štibraný – 2010-08-26T08:55:39.890

I use JumpCut
@DougHarris I'm always curious about Alfred, since I do use it for launching, but anyway... I just started using http://www.apprywhere.com/copy-em-paste.html about two months ago and it's insanely good. (And I'm pretty sure dev'ing an app on the MAS is a thankless job, which is why I'm commenting here)

And I switched to Alfred for launching & clipboard management a while ago.

Application launchers Quicksilver and LaunchBar both have integrated clipboard managers.
+1 these two apps are extremely useful for many tasks, including clipboard management. I find it hard to use a mac without one of these installed. – Abhi Beckert – 2012-01-15T18:38:59.050

I would recommend the following:
I believe XCode also comes with a clipboard manager.
To just view what is in the clipboard:
In the Finder, go to Show Clipboard, under Edit.

I don't think that this is exactly what your looking for but take a look at pastebot. I also has a companion iPhone app so that you can paste stuff from your iPhone to your mac.

I use CuteClips 3 or Butler's Pasteboard.

I use CmdVees. I've developed it to have a clipboard helper powerful enough and as simple as possible. It has just everything I need and use.
It has a quite unique feature: when you paste something, it's removed from clipboard history. This makes copy/pasting multiple bits of text much quicker. I can't work without it, YMMV.
if they had a way to activate and search the list of clips, and an option to to remove history that would be nice – cwd – 2012-01-15T18:26:46.047
@cwd there is shortcut to remove (clear) history, also right-click in the icon, it'll show additional menu options, press Opt to see alternate menu with Clear all. – djromero – 2012-05-23T12:14:32.327
