When you copy some code and select the code you want to get replaced and accidentally press Ctrl+c again so you have to copy the thing you wanted to copy again 😡

You should install something like Ditto Clipboard Manager . It allows you to copy more than one text (even pictures) to your Clipboard.
You can see how to install here :

@GrumpyGerman Thanks for there link! Going to write something like this for myself soon but thanks anyways!

I use kde clipboard 😄

In any of the Jetbrains IDE's (PHPStorm, IDEA, Resharper, PyCharm, Webstorm, Datagrip, etc), you can use Ctrl-Shift-V to select/filter through a history of cut/copied content.

In Vim, you could use the named registers or yankring, you can cycle through dd d} etc deletions with "1p u. u. etc

For emacs, theres C-y M-y yank-popping.

For atom, there's clipboard-history.

If you do not use any of the above, please close notepad.

@bittersweet Netbeaner here, I'll have a look, thanks!

I often prefer a full IDE over a quick and powerful editor like Vim or Atom as well, at least for projects of a certain complexity.

Switching from Netbeans to the Jetbrains suite for my IDE-needs has been amazing: You can set it up to be very information-dense or extremely minimalistic. It starts up much faster, and completions and click-throughs to other files are much more intelligent.

@bittersweet Good that it worked for you! I used to be a phpstorm user but finally said to myself 'you're trying to use as much open software as possible, try net beans!' Haven't looked back since :)

@linuxxx Ah yes, important consideration. I just realized the Jetbrains IDEs are probably the only non-libre apps on my PC. Now you've made me feel guilty.

CTRL SHIFT V in intellij Idea solves the problem.

@gitchboy Netbeans user here but I'll look into it, thanks!

But if you have JetBrains IDE, then you know ctrl + shift + v very well.

@droidshere I don't use it :). Ibuse that shortcut in terminal though!
