Description Xavier Méhaut

Hello,
I would suggest a feature which existed in smalltalk and which is very useful 
in all day work.
This goal of this feature is to enable the user to access the history of paste 
buffer. Example : I've made three copies since I've started to work, and I want 
to access the first one. 
In Parcplace smalltalk, this feature was implemented as follow :
when I select shift-paste, I've a popup menu which opens whith the paste stack. 
I've only to select the one I want... Simple and efficient.
regards
Xavier

Maybe someone from the community would want to write a plugin to contribute 
this new action?

There are currently no plans to work on this feature
