Software for multiple copy/paste?

Question

While coding I find that often it is needed to copy several parts of the code from one place to another (no, it is not copy/paste antipattern) and you end up switching back and force between files.

Does anyone know any good windows-wide software (or Eclipse plugin) that can handle multiple copy/paste? So I can copy several different things at the same time and paste them in any order.

I tried couple but they didn't feel as natural as Ctrl-C/V.

Answer 1

On visual studio you can do (i think) any number of "select text, ctrl + c" and then press ctrl+shift and without releasing them press v to cycle through your copied text.

Answer 2

You could open up some sort of editor, such as JEdit, and use it as a scratch space, although this is probably not the best solution.

Answer 3

Another editor to be mentioned here (of course) is Emacs and its registers: doku here

Even available under Windows ;)

Answer 4

For Eclipse I use viPlugin it gives you a Vi input model and you can use Vim-like registers for copying, cutting and pasting data.

• 10 numbered registers "0 to "9
• 26 named registers "a to "z or "A to "Z

Answer 5

Have a look at http://www.bluemars.org/clipx/. I use it permanently, I kind of depend on it now :)

Answer 6

You could take a look at the Ditto or xNeat Clipboard managers (the latter works with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Shift+V, which I find handy to use).
