More then 1 copy-paste instance
-
In the vanilla game, there is only 1 copy-paste instance. It's quite annoying wanting to copy and paste structures, without stamping them and deleting them. So I decided to put a new feature in speculation about multiple temporary storage instances in the game. Adding this will do the following:
- Make building easier.
- Eliminate the need for creating a stamp and deleting the stamp later.
In conclusion, this is about creating multiple "copy and paste" instances for storing your builds.

I am saying i do not want to make and remove stamps
-
I think a clipboard stack would be very useful. It might even be able to clear my horrible stamp clutter.
-
Yes, that's what i'm basically saying; A clipboard stack would be extremely useful for removing stamp clutter, not having to go to your stamps and take like 1 hour to delete all unnecessary stamps.

Most common operating systems either have an option or support extensions for clipboard history. However, the TPT clipboard appears to only partially connect to the OS clipboard, if at all. It would be nice to have an option within TPT for clipboard history.
-
This already exists on Windows. Steps to do it:
- Go to TPT settings and turn on "Use platform clipboard"
- Press Win+V
- Press the "Turn on" button
- Now you can have multiple things on your clipboard. You can use it by pressing Win+V

That covers windows, but what about macos, linux, other OS? and platform clipboard is **not** multiple clipboard instances; like control c and control b copy 2 things and use control n and control v to paste those things.

I've thought about making a mod or a script to help with stamp organization, after seeing people with thousands of stamps for every step of their process. The idea I had was that before you made a stamp, you'd mark what project it is for, and it would automatically name / organize your stamp. Then later on you could mass delete the stamps.
It's kind of similar to your idea. I think they could be extended. Are you repeatedly going back to older versions? Like, you want a certain region of your save to be stamped at multiple steps of the way, with ability to roll back? Just wondering what the exact need is. -
Perhaps something like a clipboard history can be implemented with what I call a limited stamp function. Normally, stamps get a randomized default name and aren't automatically deleted, so you can make a virtually unlimited number of stamps by using the S key enough times.
If we do something like shift-S or option-S, then stamps could get a name like "limited_stamp1" through "limited_stamp25." Once we get to the 26th "limited" stamp (used as an example, as the Windows clipboard history also has this length), then we will start deleting/overwriting previous "limited" stamps. If we manually rename a limited stamp, then it will not get deleted or overwritten.
