I often times have multiple instances of visual studio open.
And will often copy a selection in one instance, only to go and paste in another instance.
What I'm hoping for, is for VA to add the contents of the clipboard to the Paste Menu, when you do a paste, if the value doesn't already exist in the paste menu.
Example -
1 - Copy Text "myRandomText();" from Visual Studio Instance 1.
2 - Paste Text "myRandomText();" from Instance 1 into Visual Studio Instance 2.
3 - Do Some Work
4 - Copy Something
5 - Looking for "myRandomText();" in Paste Menu
6 - Become frustrated because I forgot I copied the text from the other Instance so it's not in the paste menu.
7 - Go back to the other instance and recopy the text.
If after 2, that text got added into the paste menu for Instance 2, I would be very happy! |

I came to report the same issue, but at first searched whether it had already been submitted. I am gladly reading that it is in focus. |

We are considering extending the VA paste menu so that it picks up text copied from other programs, which will do what you want:
case=8436
I run into the same problem myself every now and then, so I understand how useful this could be. |
