Agree accidentally clobbering the clipboard is super annoying. Clipboard history apps are a godsend. Like Paste on Mac, or Windows has it built in.

The Mac now has a clipboard history as well, it's just a bit awkward. You can open Spotlight with ⌘Space, and within Spotlight open the clipboard manager with ⌘4.

  • I used to use a 3rd party clipboard (until blocked by work) that used Cmd-Shift-V to bring up the clipboard. So much nicer than Apple's solution.

  • Ya that’s too awkward. Clipboard history needs to be ⌘+Shift+V or I’d never use it

I came here to exactly comment about this. I use Maccy and it is godsend. It is single most valuable productivity hack.

I first encountered clipboard history in Jetbrains Rubymine editor
