Advanced Ctrl+C System

[DNPidgey]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

A tool of multiple copy and paste, where what is copied in sequence is pasted in the respective sequence.

Example:

• Let's say I wanted to copy two informations in sequence:
  Apple (ctrl+c 01)
  Pineapple (ctrl+c 02)

• Then, I want each ctrl+v to paste the information into the corresponding copied sequence:
  Apple (ctrl+v from ctrl+c 01)
  Pineapple (ctrl+v from ctrl+c 02)

In the settings, the user could set the amount of ctrl+c he wants the tool to keep in memory. This tool would work with text, images and files.

In the manager of these ctrl+v (something similar to win+v) will have the options to set a shortcut key for a specific copied information. When this shortcut is registered, this information is never erased from the history except at machine shutdown or restart.

Scenario when this would be used?

Examples of use:

• I work with 3D Max. Sometimes, I need to copy several numbers of different inputs to the inputs of other objects so that they have some equal values. With that, I could, for example, copy the X axis value, then the Y axis value, select the other object and in the first ctrl+v paste the X axis value that was the first copied information, then paste the axis value Y which was the second copied information.

• A programmer could copy two variables that he is using all the time into specific code. It copies the first information, copies the second information, opens the history settings of ctrl+v, sets the first copy as (ctrl+v+1) and the second copy as (ctrl+v+2) for example.

• Let's say you need to pass files from your local computer to the AWS server. However, there are multiple files in different folders that need to be pasted into separate folders on AWS. The first ctrl+c will copy the first file from a folder. The second ctrl+c, the second file from a different folder. I go to the corresponding folder of the first file on AWS and paste with ctrl+v. Then access another AWS folder and paste the second copied file respectively with the second ctrl+v.

Not quite the same thing as in thread #1758. I saw this thread before writing mine, so I just added this person's idea to mine, but my main idea is the ctrl+c and ctrl+v in respective sequences.
