More Clipboard plugin for Eclipse.
More Clipboard keeps track of the latest entries copied/cut into clipboard buffer and allows quick pasting from the popup list by pressing a hotkey. Inspired by Multi Clipboard plugin for Eclipse and Visual Assist for MS VS.
It's simple.
- Add a link to the update site (http://moreclipboard.sourceforge.net/updates) to the Eclipse Update Site manager.
Note: If you have previously installed More Clipboard v1.0.1 you will have to manually delete the ECLIPSE_ROOT/plugins/MoreClipboard_1.0.1.jar. Sorry for inconvenience.
- Or just download the lates moreclipboard_X.Y.Z.jar file into your Eclipse /plugins folder.
To check if the plugin is installed and working open Window/Show View/Other.. dialog; there should be a MoreClipboard folder with a MoreClipboard Contents view.
There are some quick settings needed to be done to make MoreClipboard integrate to the system.
At the moment the plugin registers same key bindings as a regular Cut and Copy commands (at least under Windows). So pressing Ctrl+C after the plugin installation would result in bindings conflict and a popup would appear.
So, in the Window/Preferences/General/Keys there are 4 bindings needed to be changed.
You should Unbind Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Insert from Copy command and Bind this key combinations to Transparent Copy via MultiClipboard.
And same should be done for Cutcommand: Ctrl+X and Shift+Delete key combinations are to be bind to Transparent Cut via MultiClipboard.
That's all.
After the proper setup the normal behavior of copy-paste is not changed, but the Ctrl+Shift+V combination (Paste from MoreClipboard) now provide ability to paste previously copied text:
That it all. The contents of the MoreClipboard plugin could be seen at Window/Show View/Other../MoreClipboard/MoreClipboard Contents.
