Multi-pasting several items in one go
Thanks for a software that simple and useful.
I've been using copyq for windows and flycut for mac previously. I just discovered shapeshifter. It mostly cover the task I do.
Still, it would be good to have the option to paste multiple items from the clipboard at once.
Actually, the main need is like: to paste last # items from clipboard. Maybe there would be options for pasting in the same line or new lines for each items.
Interesting. Can you describe what you are using this for and come up with an example?
Let's say I'm collecting web page URLs for examining them later. Currently, I can copy all of them without pasting anything, that's the good part. But after the collection, when I need to paste all of them, it's hard a little. I should 'hold Ctrl+v' and mouse click for each URL in the clipboard.
If I could paste multiple items that I choose -each in the new line- it would be awesome.

The idea with mouse clicking to multi-paste is a cool idea. I'll implement that!
It would be perfect. But, please mind the need of a new line for each item. I mean, there would better be option for either paste in the same line or a new line.

The functionality I will implement won't care about that. It will just paste the items after eachother. For text, it will separate the items with newlines.
Could be done with something like holding CTRL + V and then using space to select the items you want to paste.
There are some times where this would have been helpful for me, but the major issue would be how to manage multiple insertions of text consistently and usefully. For example if it pastes without adding a space, then it would all run together, but that might be exactly what you want for pasting lines of code.
Is it just a factor of "this will work in a lot of cases like when someone is writing an article, but won't work in a development environment"?
