I just found this time (and sanity) saving extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Digoro.Clipboard Basically it keeps a history of everything that you copy and then when you paste using the extension, it will show a menu letting you select from the history. Start typing and it will filter the items, just as any other VS Code menu. One less reason for me to miss Vim. 😃

also see raycast, the macos spotlight replacement which has clipboard history, window manager, hotkey manager and a lot of other daily utilities

Testing it now. Spotlight can be a bit slow at times.

Dustin Getz14:09:05

you'll need Karabiner Elements to shadow macos cmd-space

pez15:09:50

I didn’t, actually. I just disabled the shortcut for spotlight.

pez15:09:26

And then disabled the shortcut for show/hide the dock, so that I could use cmd-alt+d for defining words.

Dustin Getz15:09:08

you mean you mapped the raycast command bar to a hotkey other than cmd-space ?

pez15:09:55

I just disabled the shortcut, no remapping.

pez15:09:07

I now have: • cmd+space -> raycast command bar • cmd-alt+v -> paste from history • cmd+alt+d -> lookup word

Dustin Getz15:09:26

weird my config must be out of date, thanks

I really like https://maccy.app/ (for MacOS). In addition to being a clipboard manager, it allows me to pin frequent pastes to a keybinding. I have a pins for

(comment
  (clojure.tools.namespace.repl/refresh)
  )

and

(require '[criterium.core :refer [quick-bench]])

for example. I’m now in the habit of copy, copy, copy, copy, paste, paste, paste. It saves a lot of time!

Windows has [Windows Key+V] for clipboard history. (Code in WSL2, VSCode in Windows.)
