I have the opposite problem. I often forget what the last thing I copied was, or whether I copied it, and have to go back multiple times to get the copy + paste achieved. A clipboard history would help me, too, but thus far I've been unable to make using one a permanent part of my toolkit (I'd have to remember the history exists).

That said, copying and pasting (and the attendant switching between windows/tabs) does often feel like one of the biggest cognitive frictions I have to deal with in any given day. That's a nut I'd like to crack one day.

One thing that has helped me the most in that regard is Alfred's multi-clipboard feature, where I can append to clipboard, which means I can copy-paste N links in N+1 actions instead of N*2 actions.
