 Humble Request

Problem: I have to manually copy-paste 2 lines of text into two fields, and then repeat x 1000. Highlight and drag text is not an option.

Description and requirements: If I could somehow have a second clipboard and different shortcut to copy/paste from it, this would dramatically reduce how long this takes. It would also generally be convenient to have. This is in a productive Windows environment and Clipboard History must be deacivated. No Windows+V.

Nice to have features: I am imagining ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v. Any keyboard shortcut is fine.



e:

Found a few different solutions, including just enabling Windows clipboard history.

 I actually found the GPO way to re-enable the Windows Clipboard History.

Additionally, I explored ways to script up what I'm trying to do with Auto Hotkey and/or an Elgato Stream Deck.

What are you pasting into?
From: whatever. Notepad.

To: Something ancient that was probably made in Java. Inability to select and drag text into it is a bummer. Some normal keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+a don't work for its text fields.
