Permanent Clipboard: A very useful Chrome extension



As part of a re-evaluation of my attitude to various things (more of which later) I'm toying with branching out on this blog to incorporate more topics: one of which is tech-related issues, large and small.  Starting with the small.

Permanent Clipboard is a Google Chrome extension that saves you the bother of having to find text you frequently need to copy and paste from other sources by allowing you to save multiple options that can be pasted straight from the context menu.  Once you've added the extension (and it works just as well in Edge, as Chrome extensions generally do).  I use it for adding headers and footers to my blog posts - since I've been going back through the archive and changing the posts from the last few years to include the various links to my social media accounts and make sure the Adsense settings are as they should be.  You can save large chunks of text, and html or other bits of code works just as well.  All you need to do then is right-click and select your ready-made option from the new "Paste" menu:


To add some new text to the clipboard, just highlight and right-click again, and select "Copy", and it'll appear in your list from then on.  Nice.
