Description
CmdVees is a minimalistic pasteboard enhancement for your Mac. With CmdVees you copy texts sequentially and paste them, one after another, elsewhere. You don't need to switch apps and move back and forth just to avoid overwriting the pasteboard.
Ready for OS X Lion.
When you paste a saved item, it's removed from CmdVees history. When you paste again, the next one will be used and removed, and so on.
For example: imagine you receive a message with a web address, a user name and a password. With CmdVees you copy all 3 bits of text sequentially: select the web address and press ⌘-C, select the user name and press ⌘-C and finally select the password and press ⌘-C. Now paste them sequentially too: open a browser and press ⌘-V to paste the URL, click the user name box and press ⌘-V, click the password box and press ⌘-V.
In short: ⌘-C, ⌘-C, ⌘-C, switch app, ⌘-V, ⌘-V, ⌘-V.
Copied items are accessible from a menu in the status bar, newest at the top. You can paste any saved snippet by choosing it from the menu.
To paste multiple items at once use the Join shortcut.
CmdVees is not limited to texts. You can copy almost anything (e-mails, RTF, web page fragments, etc.), and it will be converted to text when pasted, if necessary.

Lion
Does not work correctly in Lion.
The problem is that CmdVees does not play well with TextExpander. There is no problem working in Lion if TextExpander is disabled. TextExpander works just fine whether or not CmdVees is enabled.
Most Intuitive
This app extends the standard copy/paste method and maintains its simplicity, so you can incorporate it into your work flow immediately and intuitively. It remains light-weight and (most importantly) maintenance-free, cleverly adding just enough functionality, without adding the complexity and weight of a permanent "history list". In other words, it doesn't try to be a "half-baked" snipit manager app, which is the mistake made by most of the other pasteboard apps.
If a library of snipits is what you want, there are many full-blown snipit manager programs that can do that job, which I believe to be fundamentally different than the pasteboard extender function.
Clever and handy
There are a lot of clipboard utilities for the Mac, but CmdVees goes the extra step is adding a much-needed functionality — the ability to copy multiple items, then paste them sequentially elsewhere. It doesn't do much, but what it does is awesome and if it sounds like something you'd like, you'll be happy with CmdVees.
