Paste and cycle items in clipboard with cmd+v? [yank ring]

Configuration Help & General Discussion

Hi there! In vim, there is a neat plugin call "yankring" [after emacs "kill ring"].

What it does is allow is allow you to progressively cycle through its clipboard buffer on repeated presses of "paste". The analogous feature with BTT would be,

  • Copy "apple" [cmd+c]
  • Copy "banana" [cmd+c]
  • Copy "strawberry" [cmd+c]

In the sentence with the cursor at |

I want a |

Press cmd+v and get

I want a strawberry|

Press cmd+v again and get

I want a banana|

Again,

I want a apple|

Again,

I want a strawberry|

This is such a nice, ergonomic, and noninvasive way to use a clipboard manager. I'm wondering if it's possible to achieve this with BTT. Does anyone know how to do this?

Not exactly the same, but BTT has a predefined action that allows you to paste a specific element from the clipboard manager. Or maybe this may help

Hey thanks for the link! Looks like I'll have to get my hands dirty scripting this.
