Eclipse: stack or pile for cut & copy & paste?
copy-paste, eclipse, plugins, stack
Solution
OK, the first part of the question I could answer myself: there are templates (Prefs -> Java (or whatever) -> Editor -> Templates) where you can add your custom tags :-) quite fancy this one! (always wanted to type "forever" and get a for(;;) loop)...
so, I did some digging and found that some people refer to that kind of feature as a paste stack... for windows users clipX will do the trick for general use (as well as in an IDE). for the use in eclipse only the best I could come up with is ViPlugIn which enables a Vim-styled cut, copy & paste feature which gives you some registers where you can store your "pastries" :-) unfortunately this doesn't come for free (it's 20USD) - will work (AFAIK) without a license but you will be prompted a "missing license" each time you start up eclipse...
Problem
im just wondering as I couldn't find an answer on google (well, maybe Ive been trying the wrong keywords here >.< )... A thing I've always dreamt about was a stack/pile cut feature which remembers the - uhm, lets say - 10 last things I've cut out or copied for pasting... Is there such a feature and if so, what is it called? furthermore - is there a possibility to include your own suggestions for autocompletion? I'm not asking for much, just e.g. a while(true) suggestion instead of or extending the default ones... Probably this should be migrated to superuser, but Im quite uncertain as this is somehow more programming related... Thanks ever so much :-)
