Multi-Clipboard Feature "Edit > Clipboard Ring..."

[Arthur]

I would like to have multi-clipboard implemented in HE.

I like the multiple undo feature already, but really lacking the ability to do a Paste operation from the history of my old clipboard items.

Hi Arthur,

would you please try this:

1.) do two or more times a Ctrl+C inside HippoEDIT to copy some text to clipboard.

2.) Press Ctrl+Shift+V .... an new dialog appears .. from where you can reuse your text snippets (see picture below)

If you have used many Microsoft Office products you are probably familiar with the Clipboard Ring concept.

Basically it allows the clipboard to contain multiple items,
and when you use the keyboard shortcut you cycle back through previous items.

The Clipboard Ring is to a developer's code what a Painter's Palette is to the painter's paint.

It is a any easy way to access recently used items.
This is a common need when writing code for any application.
There are lots of times you are juggling two or three key pieces of code,
and it is very nice to have quick access to them.
It's almost like having real-time IntelliSense.
