VSCode multiple copy-paste?


Is there any feature similar to the one found in Visual Studio for pasting from the clipboard history?
Its a nice feature that increases productivity in some circumstances.
For example, if I use ctrl + c many times for several texts, then I can use a shortcut to paste all these texts.
In Visual Studio, we can use ctrl + shift + v.


Solution

  • EDITED:

    As of 2024 december, you can use that plugin:
    https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=EdgardMessias.clipboard-manager

    This one is great because it a.) does not override the default ctrl+c/v actions, b.) enables snippets for autosuggestions and c.) has a preview option

    OLD ANSWER:

    The best plugin I found: Multiple clipboards for VSCode.
    https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=slevesque.vscode-multiclip

    It looks better than the usual ctrl+shift+v I was looking for.
    In addition to ctrl+shift+v you can use ctrl+shift+c to Merge-Copy.
    And ctrl+shift+x to Merge-Cut.
    Select clipboard to paste (ctrl+alt+v).
    Paste and cycle through clipboard items (ctrl+shift+v).
