Multiple copy and paste in OS X Dec 31

PTh Pasteboard

This excellent piece of software allows you to have multiple clipboards. I find this an essential piece of software to aid development. Being able to copy multiple things in an application before switching apps and pasting is so useful.

I’ve set this up to allow my F keys to quickly access the last few copy buffers. Sweet. Why doesnt this come as standard on a Mac?”

Get the software, PTHPasteBoard from PTH Consulting. Its free, although you can purchase the pro version to enable filtering.
