I am intrigued by having multiple clipboards, but have no idea why you might use them. Just to stash away a few phrases? Why not use glossary instead?

What I really wish is that Nisus had the capacity to remember, say, the last five bits of text you cut or copied from a document. You could then bring up your history and choose which one you wanted. (Textmate has this).

Thanks.

I suppose it comes down to how long you're going to want to keep the information around. A glossary entry may be useful if you're going to use a bit of text over and over for days, but storing it in a secondary clipboard might be a better use of time if the text will only be used during the current editing session.

Personally I think for the extra clipboards to be time efficient you'd need to assign them some keyboard shortcuts. Once you've done that they can be quite nice.

The capability of accessing prior clipboards is provided by various programs. I like Butler. http://www.manytricks.com/butler/

It calls them pasteboards. Once enabled, you can hit the "control-spacebar," type "paste," and then you get a menu with your last six things in the clipboard. Magic!
