Sublime Text 2 plugin: Clipboard History

Keep a history of your clipboard items. Let you paste them back in, as needed.

Using

OSX

• Press ⌘⎇⌃V to show the history.
• Press ⌘⎇⌃D to clear the history.
• Press ⌘⇧V to paste the previous (older) history entry.
• Press ⌘⇧⎇V to paste the next (newer) history entry.

Windows & Linux:

• Press ctrl-alt-v to show the history.
• Press ctrl-alt-d to clear the history.
• Press ctrl-shift-v to paste the previous (older) history entry.
• Press ctrl-shift-alt-v to paste the next (newer) history entry.

Limitations

The history will only contain items that were copied:

• in Sublime Text
• using ctrl-c/⌘C or ctrl-x/⌘X (not the menu items)

Anything that reloads the plugin will clear the saved history.

Pasting from the history may not play nicely with multiple selections.
