The first window just present general information and you can click the Next button. Click on the OK button to create the solution and the project, as the Figure bellow shows.Īfter the New Project Window a wizard will ask some questions about the project.

Don’t forget to name the project and the solution MultiSlotClipboard and store it on a convenient folder using the text boxes on the bottom part of the window.

On the right side panel of the screen choose the Visual Studio Package. On the left side chose the Extensibility option under the Templates, Visual C# hierarchy. First, open Visual Studio and click the File menu, chose the New option and then the Project…, as the Figure bellow shows. We are going to use one of the templates provided by the Visual Studio 2013 SDK. The second step is to setup the environment by creating a new project. The code for this project can be found here: Each new slot contains a circular history of the last ten data items stored. Despite the fact that developers are accustomed to work with a single copy/past container, there is no technical reason to provide only one area that store temporary data that can be used when working with code.īased on this context, this Instructable explain how to create the MultiSlotClipboard, an extension to Visual Studio 2013 that allows five extra clipboard slots to copy/cut and paste data on the code.

The advantages of having more than one clipboard slot are twofold: allow the user to retain more data in memory for later use and avoid the non-intentional replacement of what is already on the only clipboard slot. Although the traditional clipboard is very useful, in particular to those who edit code in the text format, almost every tool for the Windows, Linux or Mac OS platform only provide one slot to cut/copy and pasta data. This Instructable focus on a specific feature that Visual Studio (and many other Windows tools) lack: more than one clipboard slot to store data. However, even this complex and multipurpose tools still can receive some improvements. The Visual Studio IDE is one of the most advanced development environments that allow the development any type of software.
