Clipboard
Clipboard
The clipboard is one of the most important tools of a developer. Some things I have learned/routines I have started following:
- Never delete text that might become useful again, always cut instead (requires an active clipboard manager)
- Before submitting a form on a website, be sure to copy the contents in case it get lost
Clipboard managers
It is a good idea to keep a history of your clipboard. In Windows this can be accessed by pressing Windows+V. On macOS, I always have at least one clipboard management application running. Alfred, BetterTouchTool and Raycast all include such capabilities. There is also the mac/iOS app PastePal, which I like for its Shortcuts integration.
