View Poll Results: Do you use a clipboard manager?
Sorry, I was trying to be sarcastic. I probably should have add a I've been using Linux since the turn of the millennium and never even heard of a clipboard manager. And yet I don't remember ever thinking, "Damn, I've lost my cut text! How I wish I had been able to store it permanently somewhere!"
Though I do remember using a version of emacs under Vax Vms and that had something called the kill ring. Everything you cut or copied went onto the kill ring, from which it could be retrieved at any time until the ring was full and started overwriting itself.
I also seem to remember that in Win95, you could drag text snippets out onto the desktop and park them there until you needed them.
"And yet I don't remember ever thinking, "Damn, I've lost my cut text! How I wish I had been able to store it permanently somewhere!"
For me it is more like "Yeah, it still has to be with the 100 last things i`ve copied" This is especially helpful for creating color schemes without having to memorize 10 different Hex-color values...

My system is in the moment not geared for compiling anything. This will have to wait until I can make some time for it and learn how to do this. So: later. Thanks anyway for help and information .
