One feature that I’d find most useful in Windows (or indeed any operating system) would be the ability for the clipboard to act as a stack. It would work simply as such: each time I press control-c the highlighted item go to the top of the stack ready for the next control-v where it would leave the stack and enter the document I’m in.
Also handy would be if pasting from the clipboard it did so without all the formatting crap that comes along with it. I never Never NEVER EVER want all that gumph. I just want the text I’ve highlighted! Perhaps you could leave it as an option when ctrl-shift-v is pressed. But not always.
And also, you’d need an option to leave the item that you’re pasting from the stack where it is, for those times that you need to paste the same thing over and over. Which happens to me more often than I’d like to admit.
p.s. Microsoft Office’s BLOODY USELESS multiple clipboard tool which serves the purpose soley of getting in the damn way and telling you it’s full up. IS NOT WHAT I MEAN.
