Permanent clipboard?

Looking for a way to have a permanent clipboard that never goes away,

Here are some ideas that may work for you:

1. Mark a Clipboard in the Clipboard History Switcher as a Favorite, and it will never be removed
2. Save the System Clipboard to a Named Clipboard.
3. Save a KM Action, as you have customized it, as a KMFAM action, using this great macro:

In order to save a Clipboard to file, you will need a special utility to do that, since the System Clipboard actually contains multiple data types for the object that has been copied. For example, here is what the Clipboard Viewer shows after I have copied a KM Action:

Can't figure out how to actually VIEW the actual clipboard contents as data so I can figure out what the clipboard actually contains when it contains a kbm action cell.

I've done this just by keeping the clipboards hanging around, but the clipboards become unruly sometimes and can be a cause of slowdown

If you are referring to the KM Clipboard History Switcher, you are correct. I have found that if I keep a significant number of large Clipboard in the KM CB Switcher, then viewing the Switcher can greatly slow down. I don't use KM Named Clipboards much, but I have never noticed any performance penalty from using them.

My favorite solution for storing customized KM Actions is the MACRO: [KMFAM] Favorite Actions and Macros I mentioned above.

HTH. If you still have questions, please feel free to post.
