PhpStorm: Paste History

Scott Keck-Warren • February 10, 2025

PHPStorm, like most text editors, has the ability to copy and paste text using Command-C to copy and Command-V to paste. Normally this gets saved to the computer's clipboard and we can only have a single piece of data on the clipboard at a time.

The amazing thing about PhpStorm is that it has clipboard history that we can use to see previous entries and recall them for our use.

Using Command-Shift-V, we'll bring up the clipboard history.

We can arrow down to select what we want or we can type what we want as well to search the specific item we want in the history.
