Visual Studio multiple copy and paste

I've been using Clipx for years. You can access your older clipboard items with ctrl-shift-v.

Plus this works with all programs: you can copy your source snippets in notepad or outlook.


Use CTRL-Shift-V multiple times (until you have the text you want)


When there is text that I want to repeatedly enter in a source file, I type it once, select it and drag and drop it to the Toolbox tool window (you can even rename the snippet name if you want).

Then when I want to use it, I drag and drop it from the toolbox tool window to the source file.


For the ones who are looking for it, as I was. The name of the action you want to perform is Edit.CycleClipboardRing. In my VS2008, it was assigned to the keys Ctrl+Shift+Insert. Just changed to Ctrl+Shift+V in Tools->Options...->Keyboard.
