TIL Clipboard manager

Recently saw someone looking at the history of their all the cut-copy text when presenting their screen in a call. One day later after installing https://maccy.app/, I’m wondering how the heck did I not know something like this(clipboard managers) ever existed before. Psst… It’s probably because I’ve worked completely remote after completing college.

  • Very useful for navigating large legacy codebases with bad editor support and the only way to navigate between functions is copying the function name and finding it
  • Pasting commands to run in the terminal shell of a remote servers that you forgot and had run in another remote server.
  • You copied something and forgot about it, later in the day you need it and you don’t want to have to go through your tabs, documents, code, etc. It probably is there in the history of the clipboard manager.
