How to efficiently manage your clipboard

Working with multiple text documents can be a very tough task, specially when you have a lot of copy-pasting to do. And the usual shortcut keys (Cmd+C, Cmd+V), while very handy, are not enough to deal with multiple pieces of text.

That's why Jumpcut is so great:

"Jumpcut is an application that provides "clipboard buffering" — that is, access to text that you've cut or copied, even if you've subsequently cut or copied something else. The goal of Jumpcut's interface is to provide quick, natural, intuitive access to your clipboard's history."
It allows you to set a hot key dedicated to this special "Paste" feature and then, with an interface similar to Quicksilver, you can choose which of the previous "Copys" you want to use.

Give it a try. It's quite handy!
