MultiClipboard for VS Code

A simple clipboard history manager for Visual Studio Code. It automatically tracks copied text and lets you quickly select and paste any previous entry.

✨ Features

  • Automatic clipboard monitoring — Tracks all text copied to the system clipboard
  • Up to 100 history entries — Stores recent clipboard items
  • Smart duplicate detection — Ignores consecutive duplicates and empty values
  • Time‑aware display:
    • Shows time only for today's entries
    • Shows full date and time for older entries
  • Quick Pick search — Filter and select items via VS Code’s Quick Pick
  • Persistent history — Saved between VS Code restarts

🚀 Usage

Open clipboard history

  • Keyboard shortcut:
    • Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Shift+V
    • macOS: Cmd+Shift+V
  • Command Palette:
    1. Ctrl+Shift+P (macOS: Cmd+Shift+P)
    2. Type: MultiClipboard: Show History
    3. Press Enter

Select and paste

  1. Open the clipboard history
  2. Browse or type to search
  3. Press Enter to paste the selected item

How it works

  • The extension periodically checks the system clipboard.
  • When the text changes and isn’t empty:
    • It’s added to the beginning of the history
    • Consecutive duplicates are ignored
  • History is stored in VS Code globalState
  • Pasted items move to the top of the list

Privacy

  • Clipboard history is stored locally in VS Code’s global state
  • No data is sent to third parties
  • You can clear the history by removing extension data or reinstalling the extension
