Clipboard History
« on: July 25, 2024, 07:22:02 PM »
Was reminded about this today.

in Visual Studio, using Ctrl-L with the curser on a line of code will delete the line of Code.
If the Windows Clipboard-History is ON the line will be saved to the clipboard.

pressing Win-V will show the history

using Ctrl-Shift-L just bins the line

. . . enjoy

I use this feature frequently when coding :)
I just had a thought about CAD and tried to copy/paste a couple of entities then check history and paste something in but only got an 'ole' frame entity, in BricsCAD at least, I can't speak for AutoCAD.

Personally, I've used Ditto for the same thing for years before that feature was introduced to the Windows OS - it not only allows you to save multiple clips, but also allows you to assign them custom shortcuts (either global to local to Ditto) for even quicker pasting - really useful for pasting commonly used code blocks.
