Overview

Keep a history of your copied and cut items and re-paste, without overriding the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keyboard shortcuts.

What this fork adds

In-Place Cycling — instead of needing to open the Pick and Paste dropdown in the command palette, the pasted text will cycle in place by pressing Ctrl+Shift+V (next) or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V (previous).

To pick a copied item from a command palette dropdown instead, press Shift+Alt+V

Features

  1. Save history of all copied and cut items
  2. Can check copied items outside the VSCode ("clipboard-manager-with-in-place-cycling.onlyWindowFocused": false)
  3. Paste from history (Shift+Alt+V => cycle in-place OR Ctrl+Alt+V => Pick and Paste)
  4. Preview the paste
  5. Snippets to paste (Ex. clip01, clip02, ...)
  6. Remove selected item from history
  7. Clear all history
  8. Open copy location
  9. Double click in history view to paste
