I've just updated multi-clipboard plugin to version 1.2.
New features include:
- Added clipboard items to the plugin's menu bar
- Clear clipboard buffer from the plugin's menu bar
- Option to toggle on/off middle mouse click pasting
- Experimental support for copy text on selection
+ Polls text selection at 0.5 seconds frequency and detects text selection changes
+ Detects if text selection overlaps previous one, or is a new selection, and add or replace clipboard item accordingly
- Option to toggle on/off auto text selection copying
On my multi-clipboard plugin page above, I've added a list of possible features that may be added to the plugin, as well as the development updates, if any. I welcome suggestions, votes for preferred features, bug reports and even code submission, to help me gauge which are more important and which are useless. I'm afraid though that I can't guarantee all of them to be implemented, in what order, and when they'll be released, but I'll try to release implemented features gradually, instead of all in one go.
I've listed what I currently have below:
1. Display of unicode characters on clipboard menu (Tried, but may not be technically possible)
2. Auto-highlight second item of clipboard menu (Tried, but can't get it to work)
3. Option to number clipboard items in menu (Implemented)
4. Popup tooltip for clipboard items that cannot be fully displayed in clipboard menu on mouse-over
5. Save/restore settings to disk
6. Save/restore clipboard items to disk
7. Lock/unlock clipboard items. Locked items can't be removed from list, and stays in the same location
8. Options in popup menu as well. (Currently only in plugin-menu)
9. User adjustable number of clipboard items
10. User adjustable display with of clipboard menu
11. Versioning info in dll
12. Double-click middle mouse button bring up clipboard menu (Tried, doesn't receive WM_MBUTTONDBLCLK)

I just played your multi-clipboard plugin, very impressive.
I appreciate especially the Unix-like copy-paste feature.
However, there's always the same bug : If the shortcut of copy command is change via shortcut mapper, then multi-clipboard plugin is not able to detect the copies, therefore they won't be on the list of multi-clipboard.
To remedy that, the copy action should be based on the cliboard of system, but not on the scintilla command.

I have a suggestion regarding the multi clipboard. Do you know PsPad? It has an record mechanism for clipboard as well. I like to have a dockable window like PsPad.
IMO advantages:
- Unlimited numbers of snippets
- preview of snippets (WYSIWYG)
- options are changeable via icon bar
If you don't like to implement this feature, I do this earlier or later ;). If you like to implement it, I would like to support you, also regarding Unicode.
Jens:
I've just gave PsPad a try, and the clipboard monitor is quite interesting, and possibly a better idea than locking clipboard items. But of course if you're itching to implement it yourself right now, I welcome that as well :-)
As for unicode, copying and pasting is working, but displaying it isn't http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1751960&forum_id=482781

Thanks LoonyChewy it's great, especially the extremely useful autocopy!
One autocopy logic refinement: when the user makes a selection followed by an immediate paste, it's an implicit request to replace the selection with the previous snippet, not to replace it with itself which is what happens now.
I second the motion for options on the context menu, and maybe a delete button next to each item so we can prevent junk from piling up.

Bahman

Interesting plugin, it would be nice to have more than 10 buffers for pasting into a new file! An integrated clipboard extender has always its advantages. Keep up development on it.
Thanks

Just tried version 1.3, it's great!
But can the options "Auto-copy Selected Text" & "Middle-Click Paste" be saved in an file, so that I need not to reset these two options when I start notepad++?

As some of you have probably seen, I've recently added some minor changes to multi-clipboard plugin (MCP). Thanks to a certain Peter for helping me with the testing and suggestions.
Yes, the saving of options is one of the next things I'm going to tackle. It can get irritating quickly having to manually set the preferred options.
Thanks Bahman and (nobody) for your feedbacks. Those are valid points, and I'll try to add them in as well.

BTW: You are welcome to host your project on http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/

Thanks for the feedback :-)
Don:
I'm aware of this, and have been facing the issue since day 1 http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1694943&forum_id=482781
I'm thinking of compiling npp in debug mode one fine day to trace the problem

What a great and usefull plugin. Thumbs up
Any improvements, yet?
I would like to see this plugin in the plugins section, that more people will find it.
Cheers

Hi there, great plugin!
If you can crack the double-clicking middle button (or even single-clicking) to bring up the context menu that would make it even better.
