Flycut is a clean and simple clipboard manager for developers. Based on the open source app Jumpcut.
This is an actively maintained fork, updated to work on the latest macOS versions.
Every time you copy a code piece, Flycut stores it in history. Later, you can paste it using Shift-Command-V even if you have something different in your current clipboard. You can change the hotkey and other settings in preferences.
