Visual Studio Tip of the Day: Cycle Clipboard Ring

In conversation Sean pointed out that Emacs has a clipboard ring that will allow you to cycle through the most recent copied/cut items and the Visual Studio had similar functionality. I immediately went to find it and was shocked to see it right thereĀ in the Edit menu.

Pretty simple. Ctrl+Shift+V will paste and then select the previous item in the clipboard ring. To repeatedly paste the item once you found it you can switch to Ctrl+V.

Tomorrow’s tip: The Del key will delete the selected text. See the same screenshot.
