Is it possible to have two clipboards to copy to?

I mean, computer wise. Can you copy more than 1 things at once?

Yes, but you need an external application to do it. Just Google for multiple clipboards and you’ll find a bunch of programs for pc and some apps for mac.

Some versions of Microsoft Office have this built in. If you want to have an overall multiple clipboard though you’ll need to turn to a program.

If you’re on a mac, quicksilver has a pretty sweet clipboard history plugin. Same theory as having multiple clipboards..

If you use a Mac check out Jumpcut. I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard nice things about it.
Others I know of are PTHPasteboard, PopCopy, and CopyPaste.

Thanks everyone. I found a good free one called ClipX. It’s good for managing your copy/paste history, and just by adding shift into ctrl + v, it shows me my history to pick which one to paste.
