Is there a way to extend the clipboard?

I really dig the extended clipboard feature. I'm wondering if there is a way to make the list longer before the oldest rolls off? Say, increasing it to 20 or something?

Thanks,
Will

Currently this is not possible by user, we can do it easily, but I'm not sure whether it is necessary. Too much items in the clipboard would create a big deal of clutter.

From the other side ... MS Office has 24 slots, and they should have tested the usability for sure, so maybe 20 is not a bad idea... What do others think?

I dont think I'd classify it as 'necessary' either. It's only been a very few times and it usually involves some situation where I need to do something to each page in a site and have a collection of words to insert, depending on the page.

For instance, yesterday I needed when building meta tags for a 60+ page site. there were lots of repeated sections and using the extended clipboard really helped me cut that time in half. There were slightly too many so occasionally I actually had to, oh my god, type.

There is a common theme to my feature requests: I'm lazy and would rather be outside. ;)

sorry, I guess this should be in feature requests so feel free to move it.

I'd love to be able to attach a keyboard shortcut to slots in the extended keyboard, say CTRL+ALT+1 for slot one... There are times when I create a snippet just for a particular project for the sole reason of accessing it via keyboard shortcut (remember, lazy). If I could just trigger a clipboard slot, I could keep my snippets from getting cluttered with project specific junk.

not really a request. just a 'thinking out loud'.

Thanks,
will
