I would like to copy several different texts/things at the same time and paste them in any order.

Does anyone know any good Mac OS X software or plugin that can handle multiple copy/paste?

+10 if I could. First thing I install on any new system. Once you start using it you won't be able to live without it. – boehj Jun 13 '11 at 12:36

only beware with a security, for example when you copy&paste your super-secret-password to the dating server - your wife can one click-discover it while you're going for the next beer :) – jm666 Jun 13 '11 at 13:26
OK, I'll only give you only +9 on that basis. But yeh - be careful with your copypasta folks. – boehj Jun 13 '11 at 13:28

Several app launchers also have clipboard history functionality built-in. I personally use LaunchBar, which supports clipboard history for up to 40 items. I previously used Quicksilver before development ceased - though I understand it's now back in development.

+1 for LaunchBar. Clipboard management plus so much more. – Ian C.♦ Jun 13 '11 at 15:45
yes, the development of Quicksilver is active again and shortly there has been released a new version vor OS X 10.6 and 10.7: qsapp.com – Martin Oct 24 '11 at 9:47

I wrote CmdVees to scratch my own itch. It solves my specific problem with copy/paste. It may fit your needs.

I use ClipMenu to handle multiple clipboards. It's nice, has lots of features and it's free.
