Hi

I very often use "Control/C" and then "Control/V" to copy and paste
stuff.

But I often have 2 (or more) things to paste.

Any suggestions?

(I am particularly looking for something that can be done purely with
hot-keys!)

I am unsure what you are asking...

Copy/Paste what?

Text in a document? Cells in a spreadsheet? Files on your computer?

Holding down SHIFT when selecting some things in certain areas/applications
will allow you to select contiguous items.
Holding down CTRL when selecting some things in certain areas/applications
will allow you to select non-contiguous items.

See if that helps - otherwise come back and explain in more detail what it
is you are trying to ask. ;-)

Assuming you are referring to pasting to the clipboard. When you paste to it
the previous paste is overwritten.

You will need a third-party utility to keep more than one item loaded
in the clipboard.

Ship:
While it's not entirely clear from your post precisely what you're looking
for...

Take a look at Clipboard Recorder at...
http://www.lw-works.com/doc/clipboard-recorder

It's a freebie. (There's a "Professional" version available for purchase as
well, but the freebie version may be all you need).

Exactly!

I am talking about have two completely different things I need to
paste.
i.e. I need to paste EITHER one thing OR a different thing.

And the 'things' can be text, graphics, all sorts.

Cheers

Well I've had a squint at that thing and yes, that is ROUGHLY what I'm
looking for...
However:
a) I want to do it all in hot keys (I dont want to have to select from
a list using a mouse)
b) I am very suspicious that it will start hogging too much memory/
resources.

All I need is 2 or 3 different pasting buffers.

Cheers

Why not simply open a blank document and paste multiple items to it?

Take a look at their "Popup List" screen re use of "hot-keys". Possibly not
exactly what you want but look at it anyway.

From what we've been able to discern the program is not particularly a
"memory hog".

Not strictly true.

Ship, if you have Office XP there's a built in recorder that allows multiple clips.
