I would love a copy/paste stack utility. The ability to copy multiple selections and then paste them in order. For instance you could press ctrl+c five times in your source and then switch windows to the destination and then presss ctrl+v five times to get everything copied and then pasted in one go. Maybe allow toggling between FIFO and LIFO. I know MS Office has a clipboard utility that keeps a history but as far as I know it doesn't do a stack paste and it doesn't exist outside of the Office suite.
I think you'll find this would save a ton of time in office jobs that require a lot of excel work.
- frompdx 6y agoI have never considered something like this, but it could be really useful.
- hnrich 6y agoIt sounds like you may be on a Windows machine so this might not help you but I have been using JumpCut for years. It does what you describe and it's an essential tool for me. https://snark.github.io/jumpcut/ https://snark.github.io/jumpcut/
- jolmg 6y agoI think you're looking for clipboard managers. There's quite a few[1] for Linux/X11. They manage clipboard history in addition to other functions. Adding that FIFO/LIFO paste functionality is probably either a configuration matter or a simple edit on the source where you just delete an entry from the history automatically on being pasted. To toggle LIFO/FIFO, it's probably simplest to just reverse the history on a keybinding. Searching for "windows clipboard managers" also gives some results, though I have no clue as to the breadth of their functionality or extensibility.
