The Private Clipboards feature provides you 9 private clipboards to copy and paste snippets of text (private means that their content is not shared with other Visual Studio instances).
MZ-Tools offers the following ways to copy and paste using the private clipboards:
- The MZ-Tools | Other Utilities | Copy to a Private Clipboard and MZ-Tools | Other Utilities | Paste from a Private Clipboard menus.
- The MZ-Tools | Copy to a Private Clipboard and MZ-Tools | Paste from a Private Clipboard context menus of a code window.
- The Other Utilities | Copy to a Private Clipboard and Other Utilities | Paste from a Private Clipboard menus on the MZ-Tools toolbar.
- The keyboard shortcuts associated with the MZTools6_VSXXXX.CopyToPrivateClipboardN and MZTools6_VSXXXX.PasteFromPrivateClipboardN commands, where N = 1..9.
You can copy and paste using directly a private clipboard (using the menus numbered from "1" to "9") or you can show a window which shows the contents of each private clipboard (using the Select... menu):
When you copy a string to a private clipboard, the caption of the menu for that private clipboard shows the first characters of the copied string, so you can identify the desired clipboard when pasting code without showing the previous window. Otherwise, the caption is "(empty)".
Remarks:
- The content of the private clipboards is not preserved between sessions.
