You can now view clipboard ring history in Visual Studio 2019. If you ever wonder what is “Clipboard Ring” feature in Visual Studio? Well, It is all about copy multiple code block, and past them as and when need. Yes, in Visual Studio, you can copy multiple lines of code and keep them in clipboard memory and past them as and when need. Wouldn’t it improve your development productivity? The way it works is very simple; all the cute / copy text items are stored in a memory and you can use them as and when need by paste using Ctrl+Shift+V
So, this is how it works.
- Copy / Cut the number of code blocks.
- Paste them using Ctrl+Shit+V Option and select them from Clipboard ring list.
You can try this in the previous version of Visual Studio as well, but the new addition to Visual Studio 2019 is, it allows view the content when you paste. It makes is much simpler to choose the clipboard when you have a large dataset of the clipboard. This option is also available under Edit Menu > Show Clipboard History.
Without having this feature, you need to use the same key set ( Ctrl+Shift+V) to paste the information as long as you are not seeing the right code block for you. But having the visualization enable easy selection of content from the clipboard ring.
Hope it helps.
