hello. What about having the ability to have multiple clip boards?
Then, if you want to paste multiple blocks into a text area, youjust paste
multiple clip boards
into that area. For example, vi (vim) allows you to use up to 10 buffers or
clip boards.

Hello Nicolas and many thanks for your proposed implementation, I think
it's indeed a very good idea!
I'm just unsure about the separator that shoudl be used when
concatenating. I do understand that '\n' suits your use-case well, but,
after, all, why would ' ' (space) not be considered another le

Same idea: I often do "ls -1 ", do
Hi Nicolas,
I will experiment more with rectangular copy and perhaps it will
actually be enough, you are right. Same with "git stat --diff".
I still think it could be handy to be able to choose filenames from
within a list, the output of ls, say, as as a sighted user can select
files and folders

Could you elaborate? I use git literally everyday (every work day at
least). And I always found the rectangular copy to be pretty good
enough.
I use "git diff --stat" more than "git status"

You can always use git add -i to choose the desire
