Saving Text to the Multiple-Entry Clipboard

This feature allows you to copy multiple text block and store them as separate entries in the Windows Clipboard. Entries can be pasted in later as needed. You must perform at least one copy command to activate this feature.

Setting the clip entry limit

By default, the clipboard window stores a maximum of 36 entries. This can be changed in Options > Settings > Editor. When the maximum number of clipboard entries is reached, the next copy operation deletes the oldest clipboard entry and adds the new copied text to the bottom of the clipboard entry window. Three buttons are available on the Edit toolbar for this feature:

Show Clipboard -- Displays a drop-down window of previously copied clip icons. As you move the mouse over the clip icons, a hint window displays the first few lines of the clip's text. Click on a an icon to paste the clip into the editor at the current cursor position.

Paste All -- Pastes all of the current clips into the editor at the current position. Clips are pasted in the order in which they were copied.

Clear Clipboard -- Deletes all current clips from memory.

Customizing clipboard commands

The clipboard buttons can be added to custom toolbars using the Options > Customize menu command. The buttons are located in the Edit toolbutton section.

Keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to these features, as well. The shortcut descriptions are Show clipboard, Paste all, and Clear clipboard.
