• Pasting multiple clipboards at once : First use the feature "Merge items" (rightclick on the listbox (popup) after selecting multiple items), then select the new created item to start pasting it. It will be merged in the order you used to select the items.
  Okay an example..
  Let's say that you have items with data a,b,c,d and you first selected 'a' then 'b' then 'c' then 'd'. The text that will be pasted will be abcd. If you first selected 'c' then 'b' then 'd' then the text will be cbd.
  Note
  Only the COMPOUND_TEXT target is supported when merging items (the normal text clipboard format)
