Multi Clipboard gives you a clipboard for text- and source-code editor contents that holds multiple entries. You can collect some snippets by adding them to the Multi Clipboard and then paste any of them to where you need them. You can configure the plug-in to save the contents of your Multi Clipboard to a file when Eclipse is closed. Contents are then reloaded when Eclipse is opened. You can even configure the plug-in to enable editing the contents of the Multi Clipboard.

Installing this plugin

This plugin is not shipped in any distribution. You must manually install it on an EasyEclipse distribution. No other installation will be needed, because this plugin has no dependencies.

Getting started

Help is available for this plugin, in the Help > Help Contents menu in EasyEclipse.

Use 'Alt+C' and 'Alt+X' instead of 'Ctl+C' and 'Ctl+X' to copy and cut, respectively. The copied entries are kept in a stack, which you can paste using 'Alt+V' followed by '1' for the first entry, 'Alt+V' followed by '2' for the second entry, etc.

You can see the stack in a view: select Window > Show View > Others... and choose Multi Clipboard > Multi Clipboard.

All keys are configurable. Lots of other nifty features are available. See the documentation for details.
