You're a master of cutting'n'pasting, but every once in a while you cut or copy one thing too far and you've lost the second last thing you've copied to the clipboard. :< If you're using Microsoft Word, Excel, or Notepad, that would be true! But with Visual Studio you have an enhanced Clipboard Ring feature at your disposal! It's utterly amazing, with the same CTRL+C or CTRL+X to add to the clipboard, it's automatically pushed onto the top of the clipboard stack or Clipboard Ring. Then to cycle through the Clipboard Ring, you use the CTRL+SHIFT+V. It's amazing! Try it for yourself!

Re: VS Tips'n'Tricks: Clipboard Ring
Is this the same thing I have in Word/Excel etc. that pops up this clipboard menu whenever I copy more than one thing. At times it has come in handy, but often it just annoys me. I can see how it would be useful in coding though.

Re: VS Tips'n'Tricks: Clipboard Ring
Unfortunately (or fortunately? :>) I don't see that behaviour in the latest version of Office. But if you're using Office 2003, this might help.http://justgeeks.blogspot.com/2007/09/disable-ms-office-2003-clipboard-ring.html
PS This is Sara Ford's blog entry about Clipboard Ring.
