Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
Authored by: osxpounder on Dec 19, '03 01:41:36PM

Works for me, but only when editing text in a Cocoa app [I only tried TextEdit].

I can select a block of text, then use the normal copy and paste: a block of text a block of text a block of text ....

Then I can select another few words, and use CTRL-k to "kill" it, then "yank" it back [i.e., "cut" it, then "paste" it]: another few words another few words another few words ...

... and I still have the same content stored in the normal ClipBoard, so that if I type Cmd-v, then CTRL-k, then Cmd-v, then CTRL-k, etc., I get:

a block of text another few words a block of text another few words a block of text another few words .... see?

The reason I repeat it so much is to test that I can, indeed, paste each text bit again and again: a block of text another few words a block of text another few words ....

Working well for me in 10.3 [I haven't upped to 10.3.2 yet]
